The sensitivity of mass spectrometry combined with the separatory power of high-performance liquid chromatography was used to investigate the venom of individual cone shells. This analysis has revealed that cone venoms contain a complex mixture of peptides which vary quantitatively and qualitatively both between and within species. A differential alkylation procedure followed by tandem mass spectrometric analysis can be used to determine the disulfide bond connectivity in these small, cysteine-rich peptides.
