Abstract
Owing to their outstanding inherent thermal stability and proteolytic resistance, as well as their small size of only around 30 amino acid residues, cystine knot miniproteins are an attractive class of agents for the development of peptide-based pharmaceuticals. Many natural miniproteins already possess interesting pharmacological properties that can be used as starting point for further improvement by protein engineering. Cystine knot...
