The question is:

Nguyen et al. 2014: butelase 1 may have utility in biotechnology as it can enzymatically catalyze formation of cyclic peptides.

True or False?

The article says this:

In conclusion, butelase 1 is a new and unconventional member of the legumain family that is capable of intermolecular peptide ligation and cyclization of peptides from 14 to 58 residues. Butelase 1holds promise for biotechnology and protein engineering, especially in its application for chemoenzymatic synthesis of macrocyclic peptides and proteins.

Since it says macrocyclic peptides, my first instinct was to go with flse, however Im not really sure since I feel that macrocyclic is a type of cyclic

Do you think this is True or False?
