title: Handbook on Syntheses of Amino Acids: General Routes to Amino Acids (An American Chemical Society Publication)
author:  Mark A. Blaskovich 
description: <br>"A useful reference work, particularly for the peptide and medicinal chemistry communities. Though a voluminous work, the well-organized and detailed Table of Contents will allow the reader to home in on the class of amino acid that he or she seeks and expeditiously capture the range of reaction modality available to access these targets. As such, active practitioners of the art of peptide or peptidomimetic construct design, sythesis, and study will likely benefit from having this volume on a nearby shelf."--<em>The Journal of the American Chemcial Society</em>

  The authors’ objective has been to concentrate on amino acids and pep-
  tides without detailed discussions of proteins, although the book gives all
  the essential background chemistry, including sequence determination,
  synthesis and spectroscopic methods, to allow the reader to appreciate
  protein behaviour at the molecular level. The approach is intended to
  encourage the reader to cross classical boundaries, such as in the later
  chapter on the biological roles of amino acids and the design of peptide-
  based drugs. For example, there is a section on enzyme-catalysed synthesis
  of peptides, an area often neglected in texts describing peptide synthesis.
  This modern text will be of value to advanced undergraduates, graduate
  students and research workers in the amino acid, peptide and protein ﬁeld.
