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 ...

Peptides, Antibodies, Peptide Antibodies and More [PDF]
The applications of peptides and antibodies to multiple targets have emerged as powerful tools in research, diagnostics, vaccine development, and therapeutics. Antibodies are unique since they, in theory, can be directed to any desired target, which illustrates their versatile nature and broad spectrum of use as illustrated by numerous applications of ...

Analysis of iodinated quorum sensing peptides by LC-UV/ESI ion trap mass spectrometry [PDF]
Five different quorum sensing peptides (QSP) were iodinated using different iodination techniques. These iodinated peptides were analyzed using a C-18 reversed phase HPLC system, applying a linear gradient of water and acetonitrile containing 0.1% (m/v ...

Peptide Stapling Applied to Antimicrobial Peptides
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are considered a promising therapeutic approach against multi-drug resistant microorganisms. Besides their advantages, there are limitations to be overcome so that these molecules can become market competitive. One of the biggest limitations is proteolytic susceptibility, which could be overcome by structural modifications
