Amino Acids, Peptides and Proteins in Organic Chemistry: Volume 4 - Protection Reactions, Medicinal Chemistry, Combinatorial Synthesis (Amino Acids, Peptides and Proteins in Organic Chemistry (VCH))

closing A Gap In The Literature, This Is The Only Series To Cover This Important Topic In Organic And Biochemistry. Drawing Upon The Combined Expertise Of The International Who's Who In Amino Acid Research, These Volumes Represent A Real Benchmark For Amino Acid Chemistry, Providing A Comprehensive Discussion Of The Occurrence, Uses And Applications Of Amino Acids And, By Extension, Their Polymeric Forms, Peptides And Proteins. The Practical Value Of Each Volume Is Heightened By The Inclusion Of Experimental Procedures. volume 1: Origins And Synthesis Of Amino Acids volume 2: Modified Amino Acids, Organocatalysis And Enzymes volume 3: Building Blocks, Catalysis And Coupling Chemistry volume 4: Protection Reactions, Medicinal Chemistry, Combinatorial Synthesis volume 5: Analysis And Function Of Amino Acids And Peptides volume 6: Peptide Natural Products And Amino Acid Chemistry Development clearly Structured In Three Main Sections, This Second Volume In The Series Begins With The Synthesis And Chemistry Of Modified Amino Acids. The Second Part Deals With The Catalysis Of Reactions By Amino Acids, While The Final Section Is Devoted To Enzymes, Including Proteases As Catalysts, Semisynthetic Enzymes, Catalysis By Peptide-based Enzyme Models, Substrate And Protein Recognition, As Well As Mammalian And Insect Peptide Hormones. Closing a gap in the literature, this is the only book series in 6 volumes to cover this important topic in organic and biochemistry. Drawing upon the combined expertise of the international "who's who" in amino acid research, this series is a real benchmark for amino acid chemistry, providing a comprehensive discussion of the occurrence, uses and applications of amino acids and, by extension, their polymeric forms, peptides and proteins. The practical value of each volume is heightened by the inclusion of experimental procedures v. 1. Origins and synthesis of amino acids -- -- v. 2. Modified amino acids, organocatalysis and enzymes -- -- v. 3. Building blocks, catalysis and coupling chemistry -- -- v. 4. Protection reactions, medicinal chemistry, combinatorial synthesis -- -- v. 5. Analysis and function of amino acids and peptides -- -- v. 6. Peptide natural products and amino acid chemistry development. This is the fourth of five books in the Amino Acids, Peptides and Proteins in Organic Synthesis series. Closing a gap in the literature, this is the only series to cover this important topic in organic and biochemistry.
