✦ Synopsis

P

eptide Science is pleased to publish in this issue papers derived from the Fourth Peptide Engineering Meeting (PEM4), which was held in early November 2006 in conjunction with the 43rd Japanese Peptide Symposium (43JPS/ PEM4) in Yokohama, Japan. We thank Professor Hisakazu Mihara for all of his efforts, both in the organization of this meeting and in putting this issue together. The papers in this issue span the broad coverage of this outstanding meeting, which included an array of topics under the umbrella of ''Peptide Science and Engineering in Chemical Biology.'' It is abundantly clear that our field is fresh and full of vitality, and that peptide scientists across the globe share goals of understanding, mimicking, and engineering peptides for a range of applications in biology and medicine.
