Full Description

This unique reference book contains 372 articles selected from 762 plenary lectures, workshops and poster presentations made during the Thirteenth American Peptide Symposium held in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
The book opens with Nobel Laureate Dr. Bruce Merrifield's `Remarks on Peptide Chemistry' which focus on past scientists and their contributions of peptide chemistry in all aspects of biology, and Dr. Victor Hruby's Pierce Award Lecture on designing peptides, pseudopeptides and peptidomimetics to understand the relationship between structure and biology activity. The contributions are grouped into 14 sections:

Synthetic and Analytical Methods
Peptide Mimetics
Glycopeptides/Lipopeptides
Peptide Hormones/Neuropeptides
Peptide Inhibitors/Peptide-Receptor Interactions
Peptide Vaccines and Immunology
Conformational Analysis
Peptide Pharmaceuticals/Diagnostics and Peptide Delivery
Computational Biochemistry
Peptide Macromolecular Interactions
Peptide Libraries
De novo Design of Peptides and Proteins;

and three Workshops:

Approaches and Advances in Peptide Synthesis, Purification and Analysis
An Introduction to NMR Spectroscopy of Peptides
An Introduction to Energy Minimization, Molecular Dynamics, Molecular Modelling and Conformational Analysis of Peptides.


This 1200 page compendium of current research from both academic and industrial laboratories demonstrates the exponential growth of the use of peptides in the diverse fields of medical science.
