Distribution of circular proteins in plants: large-scale mapping of cyclotides in the Violaceae

During the last decade there has been increasing interest in small circular proteins found in plants of the violet family (Violaceae). These so-called cyclotides consist of a circular chain of approximately 30 amino acids, including six cysteines forming three disulfide bonds, arranged in a cyclic c...
