A new family of diverse skin peptides from the microhylid frog genus phrynomantis [PDF]
A wide range of frogs produce skin poisons composed of bioactive peptides for defence against pathogens, parasites and predators. While several frog families have been thoroughly screened for skin-secreted peptides, others, like the Microhylidae, have ...
