Bioorganic chemistry is commonly described as the study of chemistry of living systems using the strategies and methodologies traditionally associated with organic chemistry. Recently, this fast moving sub-discipline has witnessed some very exciting results in applying design and synthesis techniques to the most difficult problems in molecular biology. Much of the current work in areas as: protein folding; signal transduction; molecular recognition; monoclonal antibodies; and drug design, is being conducted by bioorganic chemists. Bioorganic Chemistry: Peptides and Proteins is the second of the three text references being prepared (edited) by Sidney Hecht to service the needs of the many graduate students and researchers who have strong interest in this field.
This book will provide an overview of peptides and proteins including coverage of the chemical synthesis of peptides and proteins and modern methods for analysis of protein structure and folding. Also reviewed is the way in which proteins function as catalysts and a comparison of enzymes with antibody catalysts. A review of fundemental material is presented in the first part of each chapter, followed by a more detailed consideration of, or more examples from, the authors' laboratory or from the current literature.
