Cysteine-rich peptides (CRPs) are a family of mini-proteins found in various organisms that have a molecular mass of 2 to 5 kDa and are reported to contain 6 to 10 cysteine residues. The cysteine residues inter-cross to form disulfide bonds which grant CRPs a robust 3dimensional configuration, provi...
