TL;DR: This review summarizes the current knowledge of the following classes of peptide isolated and characterized from Australian anurans: neuropeptides, smooth muscle active peptides, and peptides that inhibit the production of Nitric oxide from neuronal nitric oxide synthase, antimicrobial and anticancer active peptide, antifungal peptides and antimalarial peptides.

TL;DR: This review covers the literature on the subject of biologically active peptide from the glands of amphibians, which include neuropeptides, antimicrobial and anticancer active peptides, antiviral agents, fungicides and peptides which complex with Ca2+ calmodulin.

TL;DR: The literature on the subject of biologically active peptides from the glands of amphibians can be found in this paper, including neuropeptides, antimicrobial and anticancer active peptide, antiviral agents, fungicides and peptides which complex with Ca2+ calmodulin.

TL;DR: [M--H]- parent anions of underivatised peptides containing an intramolecular disulfide bridge undergo characteristic loss of the elements of H2S2, a process diagnostic of the presence of the disulfides moeity.

TL;DR: Eugenin isolated from the pouches of female Tammar wallabies carrying young in the early lactation period suggests that it is an immunomodulator peptide which plays a role in the protection of pouch young.
