Contemporary science has coined new terms such as glycoscience or glycobiology. Research on carbohydrates simultaneously requires specialist knowledge in many diverse areas - from the theory of molecular orbitals to immunochemistry with its close links to medicine, via synthetic chemistry, crystallography, enzymology and other areas. Every advance made in one of these areas affects most of the others, and the researcher needs a good understanding of theirsignificance. For the first...
More DescriptionContemporary science has coined new terms such as glycoscience or glycobiology. Research on carbohydrates simultaneously requires specialist knowledge in many diverse areas - from the theory of molecular orbitals to immunochemistry with its close links to medicine, via synthetic chemistry, crystallography, enzymology and other areas. Every advance made in one of these areas affects most of the others, and the researcher needs a good understanding of theirsignificance. For the first time a unified treatment of the glycosciences is proposed within the framework of organic chemistry, by means of detailed examples. The authors provide a large amount of concrete data (tables, drawings, and epxerimental methods) so that the reader can better visualize thefacts.
