The Fifteen American Peptide Symposium (15APS) was held in
Nashville, Tennessee, on June 14-19, 1997. This biennial meeting
was jointly sponsored by the American Peptide Society and
Vanderbilt University. The attendance of 1,081 participants from 37
countries was lower than the two previously held Symposia. However,
the number of participating countries was the largest. Thus, it was
gratifying to see that this meeting retained both its international
flavor and participant loyalty at a time when there are many more
symposia held each year on similar subjects. The scientific
program, thanks to the insights and efforts of the Program
Committee as well as Dr. Peter Schiller, the President of the
American Peptide Society, was extraordinarily rich, diverse, and
exciting. It was comprised of 124 oral and 550 poster
presentations. Three prominent format changes were installed.
First, the Symposium started on Saturday instead of Sunday. Second,
the program opened on Saturday afternoon with a Mini-symposium by
the Young Investigators to give them an early start and attention.
Finally, 40 short and definitive reports were given in two parallel
sessions. The expanded format permitted an unprecedented number of
lectures and enabled wider participation by the attending
delegates.
"Have you tried peptides? Small proteins, the best in the land!
Won't you try peptides? Keep all your body processes in hand! For
labor and lactation oxytocin you must buy! Enkephalin always gives
a good runner's high! So won't you try peptides? Small proteins,
the best in the land!" The above words [1], penned by Gary
Gisselman to open Peptide Angst: La Triviata, the opera which made
its world premiere on July 1, 1999, also serve as a fitting charge
to the th 16 American Peptide Symposium. This latest edition of a
premier biennial series was held under the auspices of the American
Peptide Society, June 26-July 1, 1999, at the Minneapolis
Convention Center, Minneapolis,Minnesota, with the undersigned
serving as Co-Chairs. The fortunate coincidence of the calendar
allowed us to set as the theme "Peptides for the New Millennium",
and in our judgment, the approximately 1200 participants [2] who
converged in the Twin Cities from academic and industrial
institutions in 36 countries were treated to an exciting and
stimulating conference that left most everyone with an enthusiastic
vision for the future of our field. The present Proceedings volume
should serve as a handy reference source and succinct snapshot of
peptide science at essentially its century mark - the clock having
started with the initial contributions of Emil Fischer and Th.
Curtius.
The Fifth Chinese Peptide Symposium, hosted by Lanzhou University,
was held at Lanzhou, China July 14-17, 1998, with 156 participants,
including 30 scientists from abroad, representing nine countries.
The four-day conference was both intense and spiritually rewarding.
Our goal for CPS-98 was to provide a forum for the exchange of
knowledge, cooperation and friendship between the international and
Chinese scientific communities, and we believe this goal was met.
The symposium consisted of 8 sessions with 42 oral and 90 poster
presentations, including synthetic methods, molecular diversity and
peptide libraries, structure and conformation of peptides and
proteins, bioactive peptides, peptide immunology, De Novo design
and synthesis of proteins and peptides, ligand-receptor
interactions, the chemistry-biology-interface and challenging
problems in peptides. The enthusiastic cooperation and excellent
contributions were gratifying and the active response of the
invited speakers contributed to the success of the symposium. The
presentations were of excellent caliber and represented the most
current and significant aspects of peptide science. Dr. Kit Lam of
the University of Arizona and Dr. Yun-Hua Ye of Peking University
were the recipients of "The Cathay Award" sponsored by the H. H.
Liu Education Foundation, offered for their seminal contribution in
peptide science and the Chinese Peptide Symposium. Four outstanding
young scientists were selected by the organizing committee to
receive awards sponsored by Haikou Nanhai Pharmaceutical Industry
Co. Ltd. (Zhong He Group).
The fourth Chinese Peptide Symposium, hosted by Peking University,
was held at Chengdu, China on July 21 25, 1996 with 164
participants, including 45 scientists from abroad, representing 12
countries. The four day conference was both intense and spiritually
rewarding. Our goal for CPS 96 was to provide a forum for the
exchange of knowledge, cooperation and friendship between the
international and Chinese scientific communities, and we believe
this goal was met. The symposium consisted of 10 sessions with 55
oral and 78 poster presentations, including synthetic methods,
molecular diversity and peptide libraries, structure and
conformation of peptides and proteins, bioactive peptides, peptide
immunology, De Novo design and synthesis of proteins and peptides,
ligand receptor interactions, the chemistry biology interface and
challenging problems in peptides.

The third Chinese Peptide Symposium, held in Beijing, China on June
13-17, 1994, attracted 156 delegates representing 11 countries.
Nobel Laureate Professor Bruce R. Merrifield was among the 51
international participants, which included many other eminent
peptide scientists. Our goal for CPS-94 was to provide a forum for
the exchange of knowledge, cooperation and friendship between the
international and Chinese scientific communities, and I believe
this goal was met. The program consisted of 10 sessions, with 43
oral and 42 poster presentations. Topics included synthetic
methods, molecular diversity and peptide library, design of
neuroactive and other active peptides, conformation and protein
modeling, peptide immunology and challenging problems in peptides.
There were 75 articles selected for publication in these
proceedings. CPS-94 was hosted by the Institute of Materia Medica,
Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Beijing Medical University.
Professor James Tam, Professor Meng-shen Cai and I were honored to
serve as Vice-chairmen and Chairperson, respectively, as
recommended by the Program Committee of the CPS-92. The
enthusiastic cooperation and excellent contributions were
gratifying, and the active response of the invited speakers
guaranteed the success of the symposium. The presentations were of
excellent caliber and represented the most current and significant
aspects of peptide science.
The 1992 Chinese Peptide Symposium was held at Hangzhou, China on
November 3--6, 1992 with 152 participants, including 46 from
abroad, representing 10 countries. The three days conference was
both intense and spiritually rewarding. The Biennial Chinese
Peptide Symposium was aimed to provide a forum for advancing the
exchange of knowledge, cooperation and friendship between the
international and Chinese scientific communities. In order to
exchange ideas and review the latest progress in depth, the
scientific sessions were held at the mornings and evenings, while
afternoons were devoted to social interaction and sightseeing of
the unparalleled beauty of Westlake. For realizing the goal to
catch up with a fast evolving and fascinating field, the Program
Committee arranged eight sessions with 45 oral presentations and 72
posters on topics relating to peptide conformation, design, hormone
and bioactive peptides, neuropeptides, recognition, synthesis and
methodology in the Symposium and selected 94 articles for
publication in this proceedings. As an organizer I was greatly
encouraged by the active response of invited speakers and moved by
enthusiastic cooperation and excellent contributions which led to
the great success of the Symposium, since their presentations were
of high quality and represented the latest advances in all aspects
of peptide chemistry and peptide biology. Many authors concentrated
their attention to a great challenge which peptide chemists have
nowadays to face, i. e.
