One of the most fundamental and widespread chemical bonds in nature, the amide linkage underlies the properties of a vast array of organic molecules, polymers, and materials, including peptides and proteins. This new work covers state-of-the-art research in amide linkage. It features contributions by eminent chemists and biochemists worldwide who discuss structure and bonding principles of the amide linkage as well as applications.
