Head-to-Tail Cyclization and D-Amino Acid Substitution Redesign the Biological Activities of a Naturally Occurring Amphibian Peptide

Peptide engineering has emerged as a powerful strategy to optimize naturally occurring peptides. Here, the amphibian skin peptide Hp-1891 from Boana pulchella was selected as a model scaffold to investigate the effects of two complementary engineering approaches, namely site-spec...
