Preferred Label : Cystine-Knot miniproteins;
MeSH definition : A structurally-related family of small proteins that form a stable tertiary fold pattern
which is supported by a series of disulfide bonds. The arrangement of disulfide bonds
between the CYSTEINE moieties results in a knotted structure which is unique to this
family of proteins.;
