Funded Activity Summary

Biologically active peptides from Australian and Russian Amphibians. Bowie's group has identified many host-defence peptides from Australian anurans, including antimicrobial and anticancer active peptides, and neuropeptides that inhibit the formation of the ubiquitous chemical messenger nitric oxide. Lebedev's group from Moscow have initiated a collaboration with us to investigate active peptides from unstudied Russian frogs and newts. Preliminary investigations show these are very different from those isolated from Australian anurans and some already show potential for development as pharmaceuticals.
