Abstract
⺠An antimicrobial peptide of the palustrin-2 family was isolated from the skin of the endangered frog Odorrana ishikawae. ⺠The peptide consists of 36 amino acid residues including 7 amino acids C-terminal to the cyclic heptapeptide Rana box domain. ⺠This peptide showed broad-spectrum growth inhibition against several microorganisms. ⺠Some synthetic analog peptides possessed greater antimicrobial activities than the native structure.
