Features: The rapid development of peptide chemistry is not only reflected in the separation, synthesis, structural identification, and behavioral patterns of peptides but also in the application of peptides as research tools in life sciences. While people are interested in the biochemistry of peptides, they also delve into various fields such as peptide chemistry, biology, pharmacology, medicinal chemistry, biotechnology, and genetic technology. This book covers multiple perspectives of peptide chemistry and biology, dedicated to providing researchers and students from various disciplines with quick access to relevant literature on specific topics. Thus, it offers concise and updated information, as well as numerous new references for those who wish to explore particular arguments. In this book, the "virtual boundary" between peptides and proteins is downplayed because there is no clear line when considering the synthesis and biological functions of these compounds. This book is suitable for graduate students, researchers, and R&D personnel in pharmaceutical companies working in the field of life sciences research.
