Funded Activity Summary

The chemistry and biology of circular proteins. This project aims to develop plant-derived ultra-stable cyclic peptides for pharmaceutical and agricultural applications. The project will use innovative new methodologies for discovery, chemical synthesis and engineering of these molecules. It is expected that the project will contribute to high value biotechnology and agricultural industries in Australia. The proposed outcomes will include fundamental new knowledge on the biosynthesis of circular proteins in plants, new approaches for their discovery and technologies for applying them as drug leads and agricultural products.
