E22: Synthesis of Peptides and Peptidomimetics

5 English-language volumes

Houben-Weyl Synthesis of Peptides and Peptidomimetics is to represent the most valuable extract from more than 100 years of peptide synthesis, first reported by Emil Fischer in 1899. In 1974, Houben-Weyl published Synthese von Peptiden edited by Professor Erich Wünsch. This field of chemistry has changed dramatically since then and the new English language volume will reflect the current challenges of a discipline which is at the center of modern chemistry and biology.

The five-volume set, edited by the internationally renowned peptide chemists Professors Murray Goodman, Arthur Felix, Luis Moroder, and Claudio Toniolo will comprise a critical selection of synthetic methods in a consistent style, and will be indispensable for every synthetic chemist.

Synthesis of Peptides (E22a and E22b) includes protecting groups, peptide bond formation, the synthesis of peptides and proteins detailing general and specific methods, and analytical techniques used to determine the structure and composition of peptides.

Synthesis of Peptidomimetics (E22c and E22d) features side and/or main-chain modified peptides, peptides with secondary structure mimetics and inducers, de novo peptide structures, macropeptide structures, and reactive peptides.
