Abstract : Communication in biology between organisms is largely mediated by chemicals. Coexistence of organisms and antagonism are determined by the nature of chemical interactions. This talk highlights the remarkable chemical diversity that is encountered in biology and emphasizes the importance of sensitive, high resolution analysis of complex mixtures of natural products. The specific example of marine cone snail venom will be used to illustrate the role of mass spectrometry and next generation sequencing in deconvoluting complex natural peptide libraries.
