Various methods and strategies to incorporate new or modified amino acids are explained in detail, including a lot of practical advice for first-time users of this powerful technique. Essential reading for all molecular life scientists who want to stay ahead in their research.

Aziridines and epoxides are among the most widely used intermediates in organic synthesis, acting as precursors to complex molecules due to the strains incorporated in their skeletons. Besides their importance as reactive intermediates, many biologically active compounds also contain these three-membered rings.

High-resolution continuum source atomic absorption spectrometry (HR-CS AAS) is the most revolutionary innovation since the introduction of AAS in 1955. Here, the authors provide the first complete and comprehensive discussion of HR-CS AAS and its application to the analysis of a variety of difficult matrices.

Peptides are among the most versatile bioactive molecules, yet the do not make good drugs. To overcome this problem, pseudo-peptides have been developed. This work is devoted to the topic and draws together knowledge gained on different types of peptidomimetics and other pseudo-peptides with drug properties.

Inorganic Pigments significantly change our surroundings. This book offers what is to be known about inorganic pigments: their manufacturing processes, their applications and markets, their testing procedures and standards, and also the health and environmental regulations relating to them.

Metals and metal complexes can form compounds with organic macromolecules that show amazing properties. As is so often the case, nature leads by example. Synthetically produced model compounds, such as phthalocyanines, porphyrines or metalloproteins, as well as metallorganic polymers have aroused much interest in materials science.

Until half a century ago, it was assumed that the forces of nature were symmetric and that they did not distinguish between right and left, between image and mirror image. The discovery of the violation of parity in 1956 was more than a sensation, for some it was a shock.
