Linusorbs are small biologically active cyclic peptides synthesized in flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum) from two ribosome-derived precursors. The name is derived from Linum usitatissimum orbitide. The molecules are very stable, not easily digested and stiff.
Linusorbs are small biologically active cyclic peptides synthesized in flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum) from two ribosome-derived precursors. The name is derived from Linum usitatissimum orbitide. The molecules are very stable, not easily digested and stiff. ===Table 1. Elements of Linusorb Names=== Notes a Proposed orbitide name: [1–#-NαC], linkage occurs between amino acid 1 and amino acid “#” through the α-amino group that a N-C cyclization of the core peptide. Use the en dash (–) as in ranges and place the square brackets; [#-Xaa,#-Xaa], methionine S-oxide has a chiral sulfur. Two diastereomers are designated as S s and R s . Identical amino acids substituents are numbered and grouped; lin-, Genus name is recognized by three letters or from UniProt list; -us-, species name is recognized by 2 letters or name from UniProt list; -orb, common suffix for orbitide. b Name used in first literature description. c The methionine residues of amino acid sequences are highlighted in Figure 1. Abbreviations of the methionine residues are MetO for methionine S-oxide and MetO 2 for methionine S,S-dioxide. d AFSQ01016651.1. e AFSQ01011783.1 and AFSQ01009065.1. f AFSQ01016651.1. ==References==
