Peptide Aptamers to Inhibit Protein Function in Plants

Peptide aptamers – artificial short peptides with specific binding affinity for target molecules – can be used to interfere with protein functions and protein–protein interactions in plant cells. Therefore, peptide aptamers have emerged as a new, powerful tool with high efficiency and specificity an...
