Characterisation of novel metabolically-stable peptides from chenopodium quinoa

Hevein-like peptides are cysteine-rich, chitin-binding peptides often involved in plant anti- microbial defence. They vary between 2-6 kDa in size and characteristically contain 6-10 cysteine residues. The remarkable stability conferred by multiple disulfide crosslinks is hypothesised to contribu...
