Chemistry and Biology of Peptides 2010
16 July 2010
The workshop is organised under the auspices of the Protein & Peptide Science Group of the Royal Society of Chemistry by John Offer, from NIMR's Division of Physical Biochemistry, with Weng C. Chan from University of Nottingham and Peter White from Novabiochem Merck Chemicals.
The Chemistry & Biology of Peptides Meeting is currently one of the most prominent meetings in Europe providing a view on peptide science from an industry as well as academic perspective. This year's meeting gave a taste of the current leading areas of interest in peptide science with speakers covering chemical biology, synthetic chemistry, protein engineering and materials science.
