Errors:-

Contents list for 3AA-17.3. The spelling of skeleton has been corrected.

At the end of paragraph 1 of 3AA-13.4 the pentapeptide has lost the line representing the lactone ring from Thr to Asp. It should be

3AA-13.5 "5-" was omitted from the systematic name of leukotriene D. It is placed in front of hydroxy. (Published with the incorrect spelling of leukotriene).

3AA-15.2.3 The name and abbreviation have been changed to 2-aminopentanoic acid (from 2-aminovaleric acid) and to Ape (from Avl) to be consistant with the table in 3AA-15.2.5.

3AA-15.2.5 Table entry 3 the systematic names have been reversed to reflect the abbreviation used. Hence 2-Aminopentanoic acid (2-aminovaleric acid) instead of 2-Aminovaleric acid (2-aminopentanoic acid).
