Tropomyosin is a protein found in vertebrates and invertebrates, but only the protein from invertebrates has allergic properties. It is frequently found in sea foods, such as shrimps, crabs, American lobsters. Pacific flying squids, and also in some species of cockroaches (Blattela germanica, Periplaneta americand), moths, spiders, and house dust mites (Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, Dermatophagoides farinae) (Witteman et ah, 1994). 

Bacteria, protozoa, and venomous animals synthesize numerous toxins that are used to kill their prey or to defend themselves. Sea anemones, jellyfish, cone snails, insects, spiders, scorpions, and snakes all make potent and highly specific neurotoxins. Plants form a host of alkaloids and other specialized products, some of which are specifically neurotoxic and able to deter predators. More than 500 species of marine cone snails of the genus Conus synthesize a vast array of polypeptide toxins (conotoxins), 487-489 some with unusual posttranslational modifications.490 491 The slow-moving snails are voracious predators that use their toxins, which they inject with a disposible harpoonlike tooth,492 to paralyze fish, molluscs, or worms.493... 

The Nayl a-subunit is a large protein, and several receptor sites for natural product neurotoxins have been identified by photoaffinity labeling and site-directed mutagenesis [79]. The small hydrophilic guanidines TTX and STX and the p,-conotoxin peptides bind at the extracellular mouth of the conduction pathway and are thought to physically occlude the pore. Binding of these toxins shows little state- or use-dependence. A number of a scorpion, sea anemone, and spider toxins also bind to an extracellular site, but act as... 

Numerous garden varieties, such as herbs, tomatoes, strawberries, and potatoes, may be reproduced in abundance using the "Sea Of Green" process. There are thousands of different houseplants - ferns, coleus, palms, and spider plants - that are likewise easily reproduced using this process. For the homeopathic gardener, an endless supply of medicinal plants may be produced.
