A number of natural antimicrobial peptides are cyclic, and the products of SICLOPPS are "increasingly viewed as ideal backbones for modulation of protein-protein interactions." [3] Circular peptides tend to be resistant to protease activity, and may be suitable for use as orally administered drugs.
α-Amanitin Bacitracin Ciclosporin. Cyclic peptides are polypeptide chains which contain a circular sequence of bonds. [1] This can be through a connection between the amino and carboxyl ends of the peptide, for example in cyclosporin; a connection between the amino end and a side chain, for example in bacitracin; the carboxyl end and a side chain, for example in colistin; or two side chains ...
The publications of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) constitute around 30% of the world literature in the electrical and electronics engineering and computer science fields, [citation needed] publishing well over 100 peer-reviewed journals. [1]
RiPPs consist of any peptides (i.e. molecular weight below 10 kDa) that are ribosomally-produced and undergo some degree of enzymatic post-translational modification.This combination of peptide translation and modification is referred to as "post-ribosomal peptide synthesis" (PRPS) in analogy with nonribosomal peptide synthesis (NRPS).

The stunting effect of kalata B1 cyclic peptide on growth and development of Helicoverpa punctigera, a caterpillar from the Lepidopteran order. [6]Cyclotides have been reported to have a wide range of biological activities, including anti-HIV, insecticidal, anti-tumour, antifouling, anti-microbial, hemolytic, neurotensin antagonism, trypsin inhibition, and uterotonic activities.
Just days after the USDA issued a new order that all raw milk must be tested for bird flu, reports have emerged of animals dying of the virus, including cats and several zoo animals.
The structural rigidity of cyclic RGD peptides improves their binding properties and prevents degradation at the highly susceptible aspartic acid residue, thereby increasing their stability. [30] Many RGD derivative drugs and diagnostics are cyclized, including Eptifibatide, Cilengitide, CEND-1, and 18 F-Galacto-RGD, and 18 F-Fluciclatide-RGD.
