✦ Synopsis

This issue of Peptide Science is the first of two featuring manuscripts based on lectures presented at the third Peptide Engineering Meeting (PEM-III), held in Boston, Massachusetts, on July 17-18, 2003. PEM is an international workshop addressing structure-based approaches to peptide/protein interactions, and development of peptidic biomaterials, organized jointly by the American, European, and Japanese Peptide Societies. PEM-I was held in Osaka, Japan in 1997, and PEM-II took place in Capri, Italy in 2000. PEM-III was originally scheduled to take place in Toronto at the Research Institute, Hospital for Sick Children, but a change in venue to Boston became necessary due to travel advisories imposed at the time by the SARS outbreak. PEM-III was sponsored by the APS as a Satellite Meeting to the 18 th American Peptide Symposium, which was held in Boston the following week. Representing the three
