The present invention lies in the technical field of enzyme technology and specifically relates to enzymes having Asx-specific ligase and cyclase activity and to nucleic acids encoding those as well as methods of the manufacture of said enzymes. The enzymes having Asx-specific ligase and cyclase are isolated from plants of the Violaceae family. Further encompassed are methods and uses of these enzymes.

The present disclosure relates to the field of biotechnology. In particular, provided are a ligase fusion protein and an immobilized ligase comprising the same. Also provided is use of the ligase fusion protein or the immobilized ligase in the preparation of conjugates. Further provided is a process for the preparation of conjugates using a ligase or a ligase unit.

A blood treatment method includes the steps of inducing flow of a patient's blood through an extracorporeal device inlet and outlet in fluid connection to the circulatory system of the patient. Metastatic DNA contained within patient blood can be rendered non-oncogenic by passing patient blood over a biochemical reactor surface having attached or immobilized DNase 1 enzyme, with the biochemical reactor being contained within the extracorporeal device. The treatment method is performed without adding any chemicals to the blood of the patient.

There is provided a cyclic peptide containing a cyclic segment containing an RGD sequence and having 8 to 14 amino acid residues. A thioether bond is formed between an amino acid residue X.sup.a located on a most N-terminal side of the cyclic segment and an amino acid residue X.sup.b located on a most C-terminal side of the cyclic segment. However, in a case where one of the amino acid residue X.sup.a and the amino acid residue X.sup.b is a cysteine residue, an α carbon of the other amino acid residue of the amino acid residue X.sup.a and the amino acid residue X.sup.b is separated from a sulfur atom of the cysteine residue by five or more atoms.
