History of Cyclotides

Cyclotides are head-to-tail cyclic peptides in plants Cyclotides are plant-derived peptides of approximately 30 amino acids. They have the characteristic structural features of a head-to-tail cyclized backbone and a cystine knot arrangement of their three conserved disulfide bonds. Their unique structural features lead to exceptional stability. This and their amenability to chemical synthesis have made… Continue reading History of Cyclotides
