In the years since the publication of Atherton and Sheppard's volume, the technique of Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis has matured consid erably and is not the standard approach for the routine production of peptides. The focus of this new volume is much broader; it covers not only the essential procedures for the production of linear peptides bu t also more advanced techniques for preparing cyclic, side-chain modif ied, phospho- and glycopeptides. Many other methods also deserving att ention have been included: convergent peptide synthesis; peptide-prote in conjugation; chemoselective...
