Ginsentides : cysteine and glycine-rich peptides from the ginseng family with unusual disulfide connectivity by Tam, James P., Loo, Shining, Wang, Shujing, Yang, Daiwen, Kam, Antony, Nguyen, Giang Kien Truc

“…A database search revealed an additional 50 ginsentide-like precursors from both gymnosperms and angiosperms. Disulfide mapping and structure determination of the ginsentide TP1 revealed a novel disulfide connectivity that differs from the 8C-HLPs. …”

Morintides: cargo-free chitin-binding peptides from Moringa oleifera by Kini, Shruthi G., Wong, Ka Ho, Tan, Wei Liang, Xiao, Tianshu, Tam, James Pingkwan

“…Thus, morintides, with a cargo-free C-terminal domain, are a stand-alone class of 8C-hevein-like peptides from angiosperms. Conclusions: Our results expand the existing library of hevein-like peptides and shed light on molecular diversity within the hevein-like peptide family. …”
