    Abstract Antibiotic-resistant microbe-mediated deaths are a major worldwide health issue. Unfortunately, due to microbial adaptation to develop resistance, some antibiotics are nullified early in their usage, and worse, resistance is detected before they can even be prescribed. Copper's toxicity since antiquity against microbes at the host-pathogen interface offers a fascinating weapon to fight antimicrobial resistance. Here, we briefly review why copper is so effective, how drugs that work with copper are effective antimicrobials, and how compounds such as these could reinvigorate investment in antimicrobial development.

    Abstract Disulfide-rich peptides are highly abundant in nature and their study has provided fascinating insight into protein folding, structure and function. Venomous cone snails belong to a group of organisms that express one of the largest sets of disulfide-rich peptides (conotoxins) found in nature. The diversity of structural scaffolds found for conotoxins suggests that specialized molecular adaptations have evolved to ensure their efficient folding and secretion. We recently showed that canonical protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) and a conotoxin-specific PDI (csPDI) are ubiquitously expressed in the venom gland of cone snails and play a major role in conotoxin folding. Here, we identify cone snail endoplasmic reticulum oxidoreductin-1 (
