DOI: 10.1002/bip.22927
Abstract: Cyclotides are plant‐derived host defense peptides displaying exceptional stability due to their cyclic cystine knot comprising three intertwined disulfide bonds and a cyclic backbone. Their six conserved cysteine residues are separated by backbone loops with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/bip.23404
Abstract: Spiders can produce up to seven different types of silks or glues with different mechanical properties. Of these, flagelliform (Flag) silk is the most elastic, and aciniform (AcSp1) silk is the toughest. To produce a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pntd.0010944
Abstract: Background Chagas disease (CD) is caused by Trypanosoma cruzi. The chronic phase of CD is characterized by the presence of IgG anti-T. cruzi antibodies; and diagnosis is performed by serological methods. Because there is no… read more here.
