In this study, two novel antimicrobial peptides from the skin secretions of the marsh frog, __Rana ridibunda__, named temporin‐Ra and temporin‐Rb, were identified and purified using RP‐HPLC. Temporin‐Ra and temporin‐Rb are composed of 14 and 12 amino acids, respectively. Our results show that these
## Abstract We have __de novo__ designed four antimicrobial peptides AMP‐A/B/C/D, the 51‐residues peptides, which are based on the conserved sequence of cecropin. In the present study, the four peptides were chemically synthesized and their activities assayed. Their secondary structure, amphipathic
