Abstract

Waspkinins, active peptides analogues to bradykinin in the vespid venom, of some Japanese species were isolated and their structures were determined. The structural differentiation of 9 kinds of the Japanese species in the genera of Polistes, Vespa and Vespula was presented by comparing with their amino sequences.
