Do Plant Cyclotides Have Potential As Immunosuppressant Peptides?
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
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.

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

Repositioning Antimicrobial Peptides Against WHO‐Priority Fungi
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 ...
