Dissertation
Isolation and characterization of a novel antimicrobial peptide from Bufo bufo gargarizans = 한국산 두꺼비로부터 새로운 항균 펩타이드 분리와 그 특성 연구
Chan-Bae Park,박찬배 +1 more
TL;DR: A potent and structurally novel antimicrobial peptide was isolated and characterized from the stomach tissue of Bufo bufo gargarizans, an Asian toad.
and antimalarial properties of peptides that are cecropin-melittin hybrids
TL;DR: In this paper, phase synthesis was used to produce five hybrid peptides containing sequences from the antibacterial peptide, cecropin A, and from the bee venom toxin, melittin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Why do we study animal toxins
TL;DR: The mission is to find out the right natural pairings and interactions of the authors' body elements with toxins, and with endogenous toxin-like molecules, and to propose the natural pairing hypothesis, which links toxins with humans.

Magainins, a class of antimicrobial peptides from Xenopus skin: isolation, characterization of two active forms, and partial cDNA sequence of a precursor
TL;DR: A family of peptides with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity has been isolated from the skin of the African clawed frog Xenopus laevis and appears to represent a previously unrecognized class of vertebrate antimicrobial activities.
