Display Technologies for Expanding the Pharmaceutical Applications of Cyclotides
Abstract Cyclotides are ultra‐stable peptides originally discovered in plants based on their medicinal applications. Their natural function is as host defence agents. They are amenable to chemical synthesis for use as scaffolds for drug design applications.

Protein Grafting Techniques: From Peptide Epitopes to Lasso‐Grafted Neobiologics
The idea of grafting small peptide pharmacophores onto larger protein scaffolds, thus harvesting the advantages of both, has given rise to a variety of protein engineering strategies that are reviewed herein. We also describe our own “Lasso‐Grafting” approach, which combines traditional grafting concepts with mRNA display to streamline the production ...

Molecular farming for sustainable production of clinical‐grade antimicrobial peptides
Summary Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are emerging as next‐generation therapeutics due to their broad‐spectrum activity against drug‐resistant bacterial strains and their ability to eradicate biofilms, modulate immune responses, exert anti‐inflammatory effects and improve disease management. They are produced through solid‐phase peptide synthesis or in

Structure and Activity of Reconstructed Pseudo‐Ancestral Cyclotides
Ancestral sequence reconstruction was used to predict two ancestral cyclotides, Ancy‐m and Ancy‐b. These two predicted ancestors maintained their stability and activities. Meanwhile, Ancy‐b had an improved folding yield over the prototypical bracelet cyclotide.
