Synopsis

"Have you tried peptides? Small proteins, the best in the land! Won't you try peptides? Keep all your body processes in hand! For labor and lactation oxytocin you must buy! Enkephalin always gives a good runner's high! So won't you try peptides? Small proteins, the best in the land!" The above words [1], penned by Gary Gisselman to open Peptide Angst: La Triviata, the opera which made its world premiere on July 1, 1999, also serve as a fitting charge to the th 16 American Peptide Symposium. This latest edition of a premier biennial series was held under the auspices of the American Peptide Society, June 26-July 1, 1999, at the Minneapolis Convention Center, Minneapolis,Minnesota, with the undersigned serving as Co-Chairs. The fortunate coincidence of the calendar allowed us to set as the theme "Peptides for the New Millennium", and in our judgment, the approximately 1200 participants [2] who converged in the Twin Cities from academic and industrial institutions in 36 countries were treated to an exciting and stimulating conference that left most everyone with an enthusiastic vision for the future of our field. The present Proceedings volume should serve as a handy reference source and succinct snapshot of peptide science at essentially its century mark - the clock having started with the initial contributions of Emil Fischer and Th. Curtius.

About this title

Synopsis:

This volume contains the proceedings of the 16th American Peptide Symposium, held on June 26-July 1, 1999, at the Minneapolis Convention Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This biennial meeting was held under the auspices of the American Peptide Society. The fortunate coincidence of the calendar allowed the theme of the meeting to be set as Peptides for the New Millennium. The approximately 1200 participants who converged in the Twin Cities from academic and industrial institutions in 36 countries were treated to an exciting and stimulating conference that left almost everyone with an enthusiastic vision for the future of the field. A total of 116 contributions were selected for oral presentation (38 in plenary sessions and the remainder in dual sessions). A further 12 talks were given by graduate students and postdoctoral fellows at the Young Investigators' MiniSymposium. Essentially all of the lectures are included in these Proceedings.Over 530 separate scientific contributions were presented as posters, and approximately 40 per cent of these are the subject of short communications to these Proceedings.

The present Proceedings volume should serve as a handy reference source and succinct snapshot of peptide science at essentially its century mark - the clock having started with the initial contributions of Emil Fischer and Th. Curtius.
