One enzyme with two functions : how to train proteases to perform ligation
Cyclotides, a class of plant-derived cysteine-rich cyclic proteins, are an attractive framework for drug design. Asparaginyl endopeptidases (AEPs) are enzymes that are associated with proteolysis, but there is a class of AEPs that catalyze the backbone cyclization of cyclotide precursors. Here, we r...
