Cystine knot
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A cysteine knot is a protein structural motif in which two disulfide bridges and sections of polypeptide that occur between them form a loop through which a third disulfide bond passes. It occurs in many proteins across many species and provides considerable structural stability.[1]
