Figure 1

(a) Region of reverse phase HPLC chromatogram of Phyllomedusa baltea skin secretion indicating the absorbance peak corresponding to balteatide (arrow). The -axis represents the relative absorbance at λ 214 nm and the -axis represents the retention time in minutes. (b) Predicted - and -ion series (singly, doubly, and triply charged) of balteatide. Ions observed in MS/MS spectra are indicated in bold typeface and are underlined.
