E-Book Overview
This product is not available separately, it is only sold as part of a set. There are 750 products in the set and these are all sold as one entity, In an ever-increasing domain of activity Amino Acids Peptides and Proteins provides an annual compilation of the world's research effort into this important area of biological chemistry. Volume 29 provides a review of literature published during 1996. Comprising a comprehensive review of significant developments at this biology/chemistry interface each volume opens with an overview of amino acids and their applications. Work on peptides is reviewed over several chapters ranging from current trends in their synthesis and conformational and structural analysis to peptidomimetics and the discovery of peptide-related molecules in nature. The application of advanced techniques in structural elucidation is incorporated into all chapters whilst periodic chapters on metal complexes of amino acids, peptides and beta-lactams extend the scope of coverage. Efficient searching of specialist topics is facilitated by the sub-division of chapters into discrete subject areas allowing annual trends to be monitored. All researchers in the pharmaceutical and allied industries and at the biology/chemistry interface in academia will find this an indispensable reference source Read more...

Preface
This 29th Volume in the series, represents the steady toil over many months of a core of Reporters whose names have appeared in previous volumes. Their dedication is greatly appreciated. However, we do welcome ‘new blood’ into this volume, in that Chapter 3 has this year been written by Dr Anand Dutta, who, from his pharmaceutical company background, has been able to augment authoritatively the pharmacophoric interest in the many peptide analogues now being produced. We also welcome for the first time new authors, Drs Farkas and Sovag6 from Hungary, for our biennial Chapter on Metal Complexes of Amino Acids and Peptides. We are
