About this ebook

Peptide sind kurze Ketten von Aminosäuren, die eine Vielzahl biologischer Funktionen erfüllen. Viele Hormone sind Peptide, und viele Antibiotika sind Peptide. Peptide werden vermehrt für moderne Diagnose- und Analyseverfahren verwendet, zum Beispiel in der Proteomik. Die kompakte Enzyklopädie enthält kurze Beschreibungen von mehr als 1.500 Peptiden sowie technischen Begriffen und Abkürzungen, die in der Peptidchemie Verwendung finden. Für jedes Peptid sind die vollständige Aminosäuresequenz und das Molekülmasse erfasst. Hervorgehoben dargestellt finden sich wichtige Begriffe und Konzepte in der Peptidwissenschaft. In den Haupteinträgen gibt es immer auch Hinweise auf weiterführende wissenschaftliche Literatur.
Norbert Sewald ist Professor und Lehrstuhlinhaber an der Universität Bielefeld. Sein Hauptaugenmerk gilt der Peptidchemie und den bioaktiven Peptiden. Hans-Dieter Jakubke war Professor für Chemie an der Leipziger Universität. Er lehrte und forschte jahrzehntelang im Bereich der Peptidchemie. Sewald und Jakubke sind die Autoren des ebenfalls bei Wiley erschienenen Werkes "Peptides: Chemistry and Biolog".

Baldwin in Oxford, UK, he became an Assitant Professor at Leipzig University. Since 1999 he is full Professor at the University of Bielefeld where he holds the chair in Organic and Bioorganic Chemistry. His main scientific interest is in peptide chemistry and bioactive peptides. Together with Hans-Dieter Jakubke, he has written a highly acclaimed textbook on peptide chemistry and biology.
