Do Plant Cyclotides Have Potential As Immunosuppressant Peptides?

open access: yes, 2016
Cyclotides are an abundant and diverse group of ribosomally synthesized plant peptides containing a cyclic cystine-knotted structure that confers them with remarkable stability. They are explored for their distribution in plants, although little is known

Chemical Proteomics for Target Discovery of Head-to-Tail Cyclized Mini-Proteins

open access: yesFrontiers in Chemistry, 2017
Target deconvolution is one of the most challenging tasks in drug discovery, but a key step in drug development. In contrast to small molecules, there is a lack of validated and robust methodologies for target elucidation of peptides.

Identification of Secondary Nucleation Inhibitors of Amyloid‐β Aggregation by Cellular Selection of a SICLOPPS Library

open access: yesChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 8, April 2026.
Split intein mediated circular ligation of peptide and proteins mediated selection of 7‐mer cyclic peptide library for binding Amyloid‐β oligomers identified cyclic peptide sequences that greatly inhibited Aβ42 aggregation when cyclized in vitro and grafted as a loop sequence on proteinogenic scaffolds.

Protein Structure Determination by Racemic and Quasi‐Racemic X‐Ray Crystallography

open access: yesChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 4, 25 February 2026.
Racemic mixtures of protein enantiomers facilitate formation of diffraction‐quality crystals in centrosymmetric space groups that have quantized phases which simplify structure solution. Quasi‐racemic mixtures of a protein and its mirror image isomorph similarly facilitate formation of highly ordered crystals.

Nematicidal Activity of Cyclotides: Toxicity Against Caenorhabditis elegans

open access: yes, 2023
Cyclotides are a unique family of stable and cyclic mini-proteins found in plants that have nematicidal and anthelmintic activities. They are distributed across the Rubiaceae, Violaceae, Fabaceae, Cucurbitaceae, and Solanaceae plant families, where they ...

Protein engineering strategies to optimise recombinant product synthesis and accumulation in Nicotiana benthamiana

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, Page 31-43, January 2026.
Summary In plant molecular farming, recombinant products include traditional protein targets, such as antibodies, antigens, and enzymes, but also increasingly refers to high‐value peptides, and small molecules produced by heterologous enzymatic pathways.

Plant Antimicrobial Peptides: State of the Art, In Silico Prediction and Perspectives in the Omics Era

open access: yesBioinformatics and Biology Insights, 2020
Even before the perception or interaction with pathogens, plants rely on constitutively guardian molecules, often specific to tissue or stage, with further expression after contact with the pathogen.

Repositioning Antimicrobial Peptides Against WHO‐Priority Fungi

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 37, October 6, 2025.
The growing burden of drug‐resistant fungal infections, driven by pathogens such as Candida auris, Cryptococcus neoformans, and Aspergillus fumigatus, underscores the urgent need for novel antifungal therapies. This review explores antimicrobial peptides as promising agents with membrane‐disruptive activity, immunomodulatory properties, and delivery ...
