Glycoscience

Beschreibung

With contributions by numerous experts

As a reflection of the quantum leap that has been made in the study of glycostructures, the first edition of this book has been completely revised and updated. The editors give up-to-date information on glycostructures, their chemistry and chemical biology in the form of a completely comprehensive survey. Glycostructures play highly diverse and crucial roles in a myriad of organisms and important systems in biology, physiology, medicine, bioengineering and technology. Only in recent years have the tools been developed to partly understand the highly complex functions and the chemistry behind them. While many facts remain undiscovered, this MRW has been contributed to by a large number of the world’s leading researchers in the field.

Completely revised and updated to reflect the “quantum jump” in the field of glycostructures

Three new chapters on: Key Technology and Tools, Biosynthesis and Glycomedicine

Includes more than 12,000 chemical reactions and more than 9,000 references

Available in print and electronic

Here is yet another of Springer’s Major Reference Works, an utterly essential resource for scientists in a huge range of disciplines, from biochemists to food technology engineers. As a reflection of the quantum leap that has been made in the study of glycostructures, the first edition of this book has been completely revised and updated. The editors give up-to-date information on glycostructures, their chemistry and chemical biology in the form of a comprehensive survey. Glycostructures play highly diverse and crucial roles in a myriad of organisms and important systems in biology, physiology, medicine, bioengineering and technology. Only in recent years have the tools been developed to partly understand the highly complex functions and the chemistry behind them. While many facts remain undiscovered, this MRW has been contributed to by a large proportion of the world’s leading researchers in the field.
