Amino Acids, Peptides and Proteins (SPR Amino Acids, Peptides, and Proteins (RSC)) (Vol 9)

This text is suitable for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in chemistry and biochemistry studying amino acids and peptides. The authors concentrate on amino acids and peptides without detailed discussions of proteins, although the book gives all the essential background chemistry to enable the reader to appreciate protein behaviour at the molecular level. Content: Cover; Half-title; Title; Copyright; Contents; Foreword; 1 Introduction; 2 Conformations of amino acids and peptides; 3 Physicochemical properties of amino acids and peptides; 4 Reactions and analytical methods for amino acids and peptides; 5 Determination of the primary structures of peptides and proteins; 6 Synthesis of amino acids; 7 Methods for the synthesis of peptides; 8 Biological roles of amino acids and peptides; 9 Some aspects of amino-acid and peptide drug design; Subject index; Abstract: This text is suitable for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in chemistry and biochemistry studying amino acids and peptides.

Specialist Periodical Reports provide systematic and detailed review coverage of progress in the major areas of chemical research. Written by experts in their specialist fields the series creates a unique service for the active research chemist, supplying regular critical in-depth accounts of progress in particular areas of chemistry. For over 80 years the Royal Society of Chemistry and its predecessor, the Chemical Society, have been publishing reports charting developments in chemistry, which originally took the form of Annual Reports. However, by 1967 the whole spectrum of chemistry could no longer be contained within one volume and the series Specialist Periodical Reports was born. The Annual Reports themselves still existed but were divided into two, and subsequently three, volumes covering Inorganic, Organic and Physical Chemistry. For more general coverage of the highlights in chemistry they remain a 'must'. Since that time the SPR series has altered according to the fluctuating degree of activity in various fields of chemistry. Some titles have remained unchanged, while others have altered their emphasis along with their titles; some have been combined under a new name whereas others have had to be discontinued. The current list of Specialist Periodical Reports can be seen on the inside flap of this volume AM9780851860848-FX001_Page_1.jpg......Page 1 AM9780851860848-FX001_Page_2.jpg......Page 2 AM9780851860848-FP001.pdf......Page 3 AM9780851860848-FP003.pdf......Page 5 AM9780851860848-FP005.pdf......Page 6 AM9780851860848-FP019.pdf......Page 19 AM9780851860848-00001.pdf......Page 22 AM9780851860848-00032.pdf......Page 53 AM9780851860848-00315.pdf......Page 337 AM9780851860848-00395.pdf......Page 417 AM9780851860848-00427.pdf......Page 449 AM9780851860848-00494.pdf......Page 516 AM9780851860848-00521.pdf......Page 543 AM9780851860848-BX003.jpg......Page 583 Indispensable reference source for researchers in the pharmaceutical and allied industries, and at the biology/chemistry interface in academia.
