Cone shell researcher
Cone shell research. Researcher Barbara Furie holding a tank of cone shells (Conus sp.), venomous marine snails. The proteins (conotoxins) in their venom contain the amino acid Gla (gamma- carboxyglutamic acid) in their structures. This is involved in the blood clotting process in humans. It is hoped that the study of the biochemistry of the cone shells can provide more information on Glas role in the snail venom and the blood clotting process. This could lead to the development of new drugs to treat clotting disorders such as haemophilia. This work is being done at the Woods Hole Marine Biology Laboratory, Massachusetts, USA. Photographed in 2002. Science Photo Library features Science and Medical images including photos and illustrations. © VOLKER STEGER/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Cone shell researcher Barbara Furie, holding a tank filled with venomous marine snails known as cone shells (Conus sp. ). These intriguing creatures possess proteins called conotoxins in their venom, which contain the amino acid Gla (gamma-carboxyglutamic acid) within their structures. Interestingly, Gla plays a crucial role in the blood clotting process in humans. By delving into the biochemistry of these cone shells, researchers hope to unravel more about Gla's function within snail venom and its impact on blood clotting. This knowledge holds immense potential for developing new drugs that could revolutionize the treatment of clotting disorders like haemophilia. The photograph was taken at the esteemed Woods Hole Marine Biology Laboratory located in Massachusetts, USA back in 2002. It captures Barbara Furie's dedication and expertise as she carefully handles these toxic marine snails for research purposes. The image serves as a reminder of the intricate relationship between nature and science, highlighting how even seemingly dangerous organisms can hold valuable secrets that may lead to life-saving breakthroughs. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this momentous scientific endeavor through their lens, providing us with an awe-inspiring glimpse into the world of biological exploration and discovery.
