Cysteine-rich peptides (CRPs) are naturally occurring in animals, insects, and plants. They are mini-proteins with molecular weights of 2 to 6 kDa and contains a primary sequence with six to 10 cysteine residues. The cysteine residues form disulfide linkages and provide a highly resistant structure...
