    • Structure Description

    • The cyclotides are head-to-tail macrocyclic and they have three disulfides arranged in a cystine knot, in which two disulfide bonds and their connecting backbone segments form an embedded ring that is penetrated by the third disulfide bond. Cyclotides exhibit a broad range of biological effects, including insecticidal, haemolytic, and cytotoxic effects.
