The Chemistry of Tryptophan in Peptides and Proteins

  • Chapter
Fortschritte der Chemie Organischer Naturstoffe / Progress in the Chemistry of Organic Natural Products

Abstract

The chemistry of tryptophan (1) has probably been the object of more intense investigation than that of any other amino acids. This is undoubtedly due to the particular reactivity of the indole nucleus and to the extensive chemistry developed over the years regarding this important and ubiquitous functionality. Only the sulfur amino acids have received comparable attention from chemists and biochemists.
