Theoretical structural insights into the snakin/GASA family

- The disulfide bonding pattern of snakin-1 was predicted.
- The three-dimensional structure of snakin-1 was predicted.
- The snakin-1 structure is similar to thionins and α-helical hairpins.
- The overall structure was maintained along molecular dynamics simulation.
- This is the first report of snakin family structural characterization.
