In biochemistry, cyclotides are small, disulfide-rich peptides isolated from plants. Typically containing 28-37 amino acids, they are characterized by their head-to-tail cyclised peptide backbone and the interlocking arrangement of their three disulfide bonds.
In biochemistry, cyclotides are petite, sulfur-rich peptides extracted from plants. Typically encompassing 28-37 amino acids, they are distinguished by their head-to-tail cyclic peptide backbone and the interlocking configuration of their three disulfide bonds.
