The Peptide Components of Bee Venom

Abstract

A procedure is described for the simultaneous separation of all the peptides (other than those present in trace amounts) contained in the venom of the common European honey bee (Apis mellifera). Three new peptides have been isolated: one is a fragment of the known peptide melittin. Some properties of the peptides are described.
