Inaugurates a series for scientists and clinicians on the application of recent biotechnological methods in experimental and clinical medicine. Focuses on the design, synthesis, and utilization of biologically active peptides (short strings of amino acids not large enough to warrant the term protein). The sections cover structural approaches to peptide design, chemical synthetic aspects of development, and several relevant experimental systems in which the use of peptides has led either directly to new therapeutic approaches or to important insights.
