Miniproteins

Miniproteins are small, naturally occurring or synthetic proteins composed of fewer amino acids than typical proteins. Despite their size, they can perform important biological functions, such as binding to targets or signaling. Their compact structure often makes them easier to study, produce, and modify, which is valuable in drug development and research. Miniproteins can mimic larger proteins' activities but with enhanced stability and efficiency, offering promising opportunities for therapeutics, diagnostics, and understanding biological processes in a more streamlined way.
