ADVISORY BOARD (continued)
The rapid pace at which new data is currently accumulated in science presents one of
the significant problems of today — the problem of rapid retrieval of information. The
fields of biochemistry and molecular biology are two areas in which the information
explosion is manifest. Such data is of interest in the disciplines of medicine, modern
biology, genetics, immunology, biophysics, etc., to name but a few related areas. It was
this need which first prompted CRC Press, with Dr. Herbert A. Sober as Editor, to
publish the first two editions of a modern Handbook o f Biochemistry, which made
available unique, in depth compilations of critically evaluated data to graduate students,
post-doctoral fellows, and research workers in selected areas of biochemistry.
This third edition of the Handbook demonstrates the wealth of new information
which has become available since 1970. The title has been changed to include molecular
biology; as the fields of biochemistry and molecular biology exist today, it becomes more
difficult to differentiate between them. As a result of this philosophy, this edition has
been greatly expanded. Also, previous data has been revised and obsolete material has
been eliminated. As before, however, all areas of interest have not been covered in this
edition. Elementary data, readily available elsewhere, has not been included. We have
attempted to stress the areas of today’s principal research frontiers and consequently
certain areas of important biochemical interest are relatively neglected, but hopefully not
totally ignored.
This third edition is over double the size of the second edition. Tables used from the
second edition without change are so marked, but their number is small. Most of the
tables from the second edition have been extensively revised, and over half of the data is
new material. In addition, a far more extensive index has been compiled to facilitate the
use of the Handbook. To make more facile use of the Handbook because of the increased
size, it has been divided into four sections. Each section will have one or more volumes.
The four sections are titled:
By means of this division of the data, we can continuously update the Handbook by
publishing new data as they become available.
The Editor wishes to thank the numerous contributors, Dr. Herbert A. Sober, who
assisted the Editor generously, and the Advisory Board for their counsel and cooperation.
Without their efforts this edition would not have been possible. Special acknowledgments
are due to the editorial staff of CRC Press, Inc., particularly Ms. Susan Cubar Benovich,
Ms. Sandy Pearlman, and Mrs. Gayle Tavens, for their perspicacity and invaluable assistance
in the editing of the manuscript. The editor alone, however, is responsible for the
scope and the organization of the tables.
We invite comments and criticisms regarding format and selection of subject matter, as
well as specific suggestions for new data (and their sources) which might be included in
subsequent editions. We hope that errors and omissions in the data that appear in the
Handbook will be brought to the attention of the Editor and the publisher.

PR E F A C E TO AM INO ACID S, PEPT ID E S, PO LY PEPTID ES, AND
P R O T E IN S , VOLU M E I
The section of the Handbook o f Biochemistry and Molecular Biology on Amino acids,
Peptides, Polypeptides and Proteins is divided into three volumes. The first volume
contains information relating to the naturally occurring amino acids, a, /3-unsaturated
amino acids, amino acid antagonists, and a-keto analogues of amino acids.
Data on ultraviolet absorption, fluorescence, optical rotatory dispersion and circular
dichroism of amino acids and their derivatives are contained herein.
Relevant data on peptide synthesize is included: Amino acid derivatives, preparation
of sequential polypeptides, solid state synthesize, and poly-a-amino acids.
The second and third volumes will contain material mainly on proteins.
Although the data, for which the editor alone is responsible, are far from complete,
it is hoped these volumes will be of assistance to those working in the field of biochemistry
and molecular biology.

ABBREVIATIONS
Abbreviations are distinguished from symbols as follows (taken from Reference A l):
[Abbreviations are thus distinguished from symbols in that they (a) are for
semi-systematic or trivial names, (b) are brief rather than systematic, (c) are usually
formed from three or four capital letters, and (d) are not used - as are symbols —as units
of larger structures. ATP, FAD, etc., are abbreviations. Gly, Ser, Ado, Glc, etc., are
symbols (as are Na, K, Ca, O, S, etc.); they are sometimes useful as abbreviations in
figures, tables, etc., where space is limited, but are usually not permitted in text. The use
of abbreviations is permitted when necessary but is never required.]

3. Miscellaneous

SYMBOLS
Symbols are distinguished from abbreviations in that they are designed to represent
specific parts of larger molecules, just as the symbols for the elements are used in
depicting molecules, and are thus rather systematic in construction and use. Symbols are
not designed to be used as abbreviations and should not be used as such in text, but they
may often serve this purpose when space is limited (as in a figure or table). Symbols are
always written with a single capital letter, all subsequent letters being lower-case (e.g., Ca,
Cl, Me, Ac, Gly, Rib, Ado), regardless of their position in a sequence, a sentence, or as a
superscript or subscript.
