- Summary:
- Assembles major lines of research of recent years, and provides an overview of the current directions of the field. An introductory chapter summarizes current developments in fast moving projects such as biosynthesis of peptides formed by ribosomal and nonribosomal pathways, and the analysis and cloning of enzymatic pathways. Subsequent sections address the elucidation of structures and effects, the application of screens, and chemical modification studies in structure-function work; peptides as modulators of enzyme activity; and the production of peptides.
