This volume explores the latest techniques and strategies used to study the field of peptide macrocycles. The chapters in this book ae organized into four parts: macrocycles synthesis, combinational library synthesis and screening, macrocycle characterization, and unique applications. Part One looks at a variety of peptide cyclization methodologies, and Part Two describes methods for the creation of peptide macrocycles libraries and their subsequent screening against biological targets of interest. Part Three discusses the study and characterization of peptide macrocycle-target interactions, and Part Four introduces unique applications for peptide macrocycles, from higher-order structure formation to post-synthetic functional modifications. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Cutting-edge and comprehensive, Peptide Macrocycles: Methods and Protocols is a valuable resource for both novice and expert researchers looking to learn more about this developing field.
