Introduction
The most promising approaches to circularize proteins are protein trans-splicing using split inteins [1] such as Npu DnaE [2] and Sortase A-catalyzed cyclization [3]. Both methods require the addition of specific proteins domains or peptides to the protein to be circularized. Consequently, on DNA level, creating circular proteins equals creating fusion proteins. However, existing protein fusion standards like RFC 23 cause scars.
