Amino Acids and Peptides - G.C. Barrett, D.T. Elmore.pdf - chemia - draco888888

The authors’ objective has been to concentrate on amino acids and pep-

tides without detailed discussions of proteins, although the book gives all

the essential background chemistry, including sequence determination,

synthesis and spectroscopic methods, to allow the reader to appreciate

protein behaviour at the molecular level. The approach is intended to

encourage the reader to cross classical boundaries, such as in the later

chapter on the biological roles of amino acids and the design of peptide-

based drugs. For example, there is a section on enzyme-catalysed synthesis

of peptides, an area often neglected in texts describing peptide synthesis.

This modern text will be of value to advanced undergraduates, graduate

students and research workers in the amino acid, peptide and protein ﬁeld.
