400M+ years
of natural selection tuning venom peptides to specific ion channels at nanomolar affinity.
4 lineages
Structurally independent Sonoran arthropod peptide families converge on the same human drug targets.
1 desert
One of the world's richest arthropod biodiversity zones, and one of the least characterized. No competitor is mining it systematically.
