Biochemical and Structural Characterization

This cluster of papers focuses on the bioengineering and protein anchoring mechanisms of cyclotides, sortase-mediated protein ligation, and the assembly of pili in Gram-positive bacteria. It explores the use of peptide tags, bacterial adhesins, and isopeptide bonds for protein engineering, as well as the enzymatic stability and bioactive properties of cyclotides.
