Since the discovery of twenty amino acids in proteins, amino acid research has spread into virtually every field of sciences, identified one thousand amino acids along their paths in nature, and achieved extensive differentiation far beyond initial concepts. The above mentioned conference was organized with a view to discussing bienially the most recent developments in each of diverse, yet essentially complementary fields of amino acid research. The planned outline was to highlight the "frontiers and new horizons of amino acid research" and discuss their roots and coherence in the entirety of life/basic sciences spanning from cosmology to medicine. This proceedings of the conference clearly show that the time was right to allow a current overview of amino acid research and indicate promising lines of newer approaches towards, eventually, an understanding of life itself.
