Engineering circular bacteriocins: structural and functional effects of α-helix exchanges and disulfide introductions in circularin A

Circular bacteriocins form a distinct group of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) characterized by their unique head-to-tail ligated circular structure and functional properties. They belong to the ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptide (RiPP) family. The ribosomal origin of th...
