Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first synthetic peptides were produces a century ago. In the ensuing period, they have developed as valuable research tools that are readily available to all researchers. However, since most reasearchers do not make their own peptides, they are often unfamiliar with not only the synthetic chemistry, but also with important and useful aspects of design, analysis, handling, and applications. This volume is written by experts in the field who provide detailed descriptions as well as practical advice for producing and using synthetic peptides. Chapters cover peptide design considerations, the synthetic chemistry, the evaluation of the synthetic product, and the modern applications of synthetic peptides. (Midwest).
