Newsgroup Charter:

The purpose of PEPTIDES is to serve as an international forum for open 
communication among peptide scientists. Topics such as peptide 
synthesis, purification, analysis, structure, design, biological 
activity, peptidomimetics and other peptide related issues may be 
discussed.  Announcements from the American Peptide Society will be 
posted here.  Other peptide societies are encouraged to post 
announcements as well.  Prospective employers of peptide scientists 
are invited to advertise jobs in this news group.

There is currently no clear avenue for posting peptide-related 
questions.  This news group will be distinguished from 
bionet.molbio.proteins in that it will focus on the chemistry and 
biological aspects of peptides.

This news group was created with the support of the American Peptide 
Society by the following committee:  Ruth Hogue Angeletti, George 
Barany, Michael S. Breslav, Patricia Winter Cash, S. Russ Lehrman, and 
Janis Dillaha Young.  All peptide scientists are encouraged to utilize 
this news group.  

Subscribers are welcome from universities or any academic institution, 
government agencies, medical institutions, and industrial or 
commercial organizations.  Contributions within the functions outlined 
above are encouraged.

Moderation Policy:  Mass-posted commercial messages, chain letters, 
and similar posting not related to peptide science will be deleted 
without comment.  Inappropriate messages posted in good faith will be 
returned to sender.  Messages not strictly within the charter but 
likely to be of interest to many subscribers will be accepted.
