Amino Acids, Peptides and Proteins comprises a comprehensive review of significant developments at this biology/chemistry interface. Each volume of this Specialist Periodical Report opens with an overview of amino acids and their applications. Volume 37 marks the return of the series after a five-year hiatus, with Professors Etelka Farkas (Debrecen, Hungary) and Max Ryadnov (National Physical Laboratory, UK) as the new volume editors. There has been considerable progress in the field since the last publication in 2007, and predominantly this volume looks back over the last two year rather than the usual 12-months. However, traditional concepts are also revisited in the context of recent discoveries.Each chapter incorporates current trends of the reviewed topic and the authors' outlook of future perspectives. This is to facilitate the monitoring of the covered areas and their potentianl expansion with the inclusion of other specialist reports in subsequent volume. All chapters are compiled by leading researchers in their subject areas which offers this series as an appealing source of information for the research community in both academia and industry.
