Transpeptidases are great for protein labelling, but are largely restricted to acting at protein termini. By mimicking an N-terminal substrate at internal sites, we now show that a plant transpeptidase can be repurposed for targeted lysine acylation.

In the future, taking medicine may be as simple as eating your veggies! Prof David Craik FAA FRS (@TheCraikGroup) and his colleagues are unlocking the pharmaceutical potential of circular peptides—'cyclotides'—which could be grown in edible plants. 🥕🍅🥬
