Composition and Antimicrobial Activity of the Skin Peptidome of Russian Brown Frog Rana temporaria A nano-HPLC-ESI-OrbiTrap study involving HCD and ETD spectra has been carried out to clarify the composition of the skin peptidome of brown Russian frogs Rana temporaria. This approach allowed determi...

Albert Lebedev describes these chemicals as "enormously active", and his team has identified 76 different peptides in the frog’s slimy coating. Some of these might even help create new antibiotics or medicines in the future. More in:

What he found is extraordinary. The skin of brown frogs, Rana temporaria, releases a unique secretion packed with potent antibacterial and anti-fungal peptides, making it a natural defence mechanism against both bacteria and fungi...

Before refrigeration, Russians kept the milk fresh by dropping live brown frogs straight into their milk buckets. The frog’s presence kept milk from spoiling, but no one knew why.
Until Albert Lebedev, decided to look into it...

@yacobg42 It reminded me of your "Who's Afraid of Modern Art" video, and got me thinking about the piece. The more I consider it, the better suited Newman's 'Obelisk' seems to the world of Doom. Art Critic Robert Hughes put it well in 1971:
Well done #Bethesda #DOOMEternal 2/2

@yacobg42 Playing through Doom Eternal when I bumped into Barnett Newman’s Broken Obelisk! 1/X #ModernArt #Games

Sourdough bread attempt #3, success #1!
Get ready #GreatBritishBakeOff !
