Benoiton (U. of Ottawa) has cast into book form material he taught to biochemistry students at the undergraduate and graduate levels, to chemists in other specialties, and to peptide chemists. Reader are assumed to have a minimum knowledge of organic and amino-acid chemistry. His focus is on understanding how and why reactions and phenomena occur, and his presentation progressive, with some repetition, amplifying after he has established the basics. He begins with the fundamentals of peptide synthesis, emphasizing the intermediates that are encountered in aminolysis reactions.
