  • Author Information
Carbohydrates are a highly diverse group of biological molecules, ranging far beyond the commonly known sugar and starch. Together with proteins, nucleic acids and lipids, carbohydrates constitute one of the four pillars of biological chemistry: They are involved in countless cellular functions, including cell-cell recognition, signaling, and pathogen defense.
A mini-encyclopedia containing brief descriptions of more than 2,000 molecules arranged in alphabetical order, together with their acronyms, technical terms and concepts used in the entire field of glycoscience, including:
- sugars and other carbohydrates
- glycoconjugates
- glycosylated drugs and natural products
- carbohydrate-binding proteins
- glycobiology
- nomenclature
- carboydrate structure and modeling
- chemical synthesis, including solid phase methods
- biosynthetic pathways
- analytical methods
- glycochips and glycomics
- pharmaceutical applications.
A structural formula is given for all key sugars and their derivatives, as well as their systematic name.
Condensed yet accessible, this handy single volume only displays essential information, while featuring hundreds of specially-drawn illustrations, extensive cross-referencing and a carefully selected bibliography for further study.
For biochemists, molecular biologists, biotechnologists, graduate and PhD students.
