Study of molecular and functional diversity of plant cystine knot miniproteins

Cystine knot (CK) peptides are structurally diverse and well represented in plant defense system. They are exceptionally stable to thermal denaturation and resistant to proteolytic degradation. As such, they can be used as scaffolds for engineering peptidyl drugs. The focus of my thesis is to isolat...
