【组织简介】
The American Peptide Society (APS), a nonprofit scientific and educational organization founded in 1990, provides a forum for advancing and promoting knowledge of the chemistry and biology of peptides. The approximately one thousand members of the Society come from North America and from more than thirty other countries throughout the world. Establishment of the American Peptide Society was a result of the rapid worldwide growth that has occurred in peptide-related research, and of the increasing interaction of peptide scientists with virtually all fields of science.
Peptides are chains of amino acid residues with remarkable biological functions, ranging from hormonal regulation to antibiotic activities. Members of the American Peptide Society are involved in research in academia, industry, and government, covering all aspects of peptide chemistry, biology, and pharmaceutical science. Research topics include synthesis of biologically important targets, isolation and characterization of new products, structure-activity relationship studies, molecular diversity, de novo design, drug delivery, and the discovery of new pharmaceutical agents.
The American Peptide Society is a Sustaining Associate Member of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB).
The Society are very proud to sponsor the Journal of Peptide Research as the official journal . This premier journal (formerly the Int. J. Pept. Protein Res.) is published for us by Munksgaard. The American Peptide Society also sponsors the publication of Biopolymers (Peptide Science) through our friends at Wiley-Interscience.
