Klappentext Die Peptidbindung ist eine der wichtigsten und häufigsten chemischen Bindungen in der Natur. Sie bestimmt die Eigenschaften von organischen Molekülen und Makromolekülen, Peptiden und Proteinen. Dieser Band bietet eine Fülle von Details zur Struktur, Bindung und Energetik, Elektronendichteverteilung, Amidrotation, Stereochemie, Spektroskopie und Thermochemie. Spezielle Aspekte wie die stereospezifische Synthese kommen ebenso zur Sprache wie Einzelheiten der Funktion der Peptidbindung in Enzyminhibitoren, cyclischen Peptiden und bakteriziden Wirkstoffen. (02/00) Zusammenfassung This text presents specific applications to supramolecular and stereospecific synthesis. It discusses aspects of peptide and protein chemistry as well as highlighting how the amide linkage participates in the design of enzyme inhibitors, cyclic peptides and antibacterial agents.
