Preface During the year under review, peptide science continued its relentless growth. Output still increases, beyond, it seems, control. What might loosely be called straight peptide chemistry has more than five thousand workers engaged in it full-time, producing around a thousand publications a year and flocking to international meetings in their hundreds. Furthermore, what is published on some topics is, as we all know, less complete (and sometimes, one suspects, less interesting) than that which is not, because commercial considerations impose paranoid secrecy. With the subject now so extensive, and'its aficionados so numerous, the emergence of specialised societies was inevitable. Many countries have had semi-formal peptide discussion groups for some time (the UK Peptide and Protein Group was initiated under the auspices of the Chemical and Biochemical Societies as long ago as 1968), and an informal European Peptide Committee has been organising symposia for over thirty years. This movement has now gone a stage further with the formation of, and approval of governing statutes for, a European Peptide Society, in 1989; this was followed by similar formalitites for the birth of an American Peptide Society and a Japanese Peptide Society, both early in 1990. In only a few months the enrolment of the European Peptide Society had risen to over seven hundred, powerful evidence of the field's strength. Balliol College.
