Sixteen aurein peptides are present in the host defence secretion from the granular dorsal glands of the Green and Golden Bell Frog Litoria aureus and seventeen from those of the related Southern Bell Frog Litoria raniformis. All peptides have been sequenced using a combination of electrospray mass

The secretion of the skin glands of the 'orange-thighed frog' Litoria xanthomera contains seven peptides. One of these is the know hypotensive peptide caerulein. Two new peptides, caerin 1.6 [GLFSVLGAVAKHVLPHVVPVIAEKL(NH2)], and caerin 1.7 [GLFKVLGSVAKHLLPHVAPVIAEKL(NH2)] show antibacterial properti
The collision-induced tandem mass spectral data for MH' and [M -HI-ions from six bio-active peptides from Litoriu rubella are compared. Backbone cleavages of [M -HI-ions provide sequencing information for five of the peptides [e.g. Phe Pro 'lkp Leu (NH,) and pGlu Phe Pro 'lkp Leu (NH,)] and in these
A combination of electrospray mass spectrometry, Lys-C digest/mass spectrometry and automated Edman sequencing provides the amino acid sequences of nineteen citropin peptides isolated from the granular dorsal and submental glands of the Blue Mountains tree frog Litoria citropa. Citropin 1.1 [Gly Leu
