Exploring the sequence diversity of cyclotides from Vietnamese Viola species

, 2020
is the largest genus in the Violaceae plant family and is known for its ubiquitous natural production of cyclotides. Many species are used as medicinal herbs across Asia and are often consumed by humans in teas for the treatment of diseases, including ...

Cyclotides : a novel class of natural antibiotics

, 2011
Cyclotides are circular plant proteins that are approximately 30 amino acids long and have high heat and enzymatic stability. Their N- and C- termini are joined together to form a continuous cyclic conformation.

Joseph Rudinger memorial lecture: discovery and applications of cyclotides

, 2013
Cyclotides are plant-derived peptides of approximately 30 amino acids that have the characteristic structural features of a head-to-tail cyclized backbone and a cystine knot arrangement of their three conserved disulfide bonds.
