The chemistry and biochemistry of carbohydrates have become key
research areas throughout the world. Responding to the enormous
interest expressed in these fields, this new book has brought
together a range of contributors, each working at the forefront of
carbohydrate chemistry and biochemistry to provide concise
authoritative and timely review of these exciting areas. Aimed at
chemists, biochemists and biologists, the reader will find this
book an invaluable introduction to and review of the most important
developments in carbohydrate chemistry. As a distinct chemical
group, the carbohydrates comprising mono-, oligo-, and
polysaccharides and their derivatives are the most abundant group
of natural products. From simple monosaccharides produced in
photosynthesis to polysaccharides built in complex biochemical
reactions, carbohydrates are produced in huge quantities by plant
and animal life. Apart from dietary and structural uses in plants
and animals, it is now well established that carbohydrates play a
number of key roles in living systems. From cell-cell recognition
to hormonal activities, carbohydrates are implicated in a wide
range of cellular processes. This new understanding has forced the
study of carbohydrates to the forefront of modern chemical
research. For example, the nature of the role of carbohydrates in
living systems offers the potential to provide important lead
compounds in the development of new bioactive molecules. Similarly,
the relative abundance of carbohydrates is prompting research aimed
at utilizing simple monosaccharides as starting materials for a
range of high value chemical product, offering a renewable
alternative to current starting materials.
