As a product of streamlined, automated technology, synthetic peptides are becoming available to a larger group of researchers than ever before - and are being used in a wider variety of applications. "Synthetic Peptides" describe the process of solid-phase peptide synthesis to help one use synthetic peptides more effectively and design more efficient experiments. This manual reveals "tricks of the trade" in the manufacturing and handling of artificial peptides. It provides background and methodology, answers basic questions and discusses problems that commonly occur in peptide design, synthesis strategy and chemistry, peptide purification and establishing peptide synthesis capabilities.
