Amino Acid and Peptide Synthesis

The study of amino acids and peptides is becoming increasingly important to chemists because of the growing overlap of mainstream organic chemistry with bioorganic and biochemistry. This introductory text begins with a brief survey of the role and diversity of amino acids, peptides, and proteins in nature, and goes on to describe and explain the principal methods of chemical synthesis. With its emphasis on chemical principals and strategies rather than detailed technical matters, the book will be essential reading for all students of chemistry with an interest in this field.Jones, John H. is the author of 'Amino Acid and Peptide Synthesis' with ISBN 9780198556688 and ISBN 0198556683.
