## Abstract Maculatin 1.1 (Mac) is a cationic antibacterial peptide isolated from the dorsal glands of the tree frog, __Litoria genimaculata__, and has a sequence of GLFGVLAKVAAHVVPAIAEHFβNH~2~. A short peptide lacking the __N__βterminal two residues of Mac was reported to have no activity. To inve
