Peptides From Australian Frogs. The Structures of the Dynastins From the Banjo Frogs Limnodynastes interioris, Limnodynastes dumerilii and Limnodynastes terraereginae

Abstract

The dermal glandular extracts of the tibial (calf) glands of the Australian banjo frogs Limnodynastes interioris, Limnodynastes dumerilii and Limnodynastes terraereginae each contain a different peptide, which we have named dynastin 1, 2 and 3 respectively. The determination of the sequences of these peptides is detailed.
