Essentials of Carbohydrate Chemistry and Biochemistry 3e (Paperback, 3rd Completely Revised And Enlarged Edition)

Carbohydrates are important storage molecules, constituents of nucleic acids and biological recognition markers. Synthetic carbohydrates are important food additives, building blocks for polymers and have also been used as drugs.
Concise yet complete, this is a succinct introduction to the topic, covering both basic chemistry as well as such advanced topics as high-throughput analytics and glycomics -- in one handy volume. This improved and expanded 3rd edition features all-new material on combinatorial synthesis of carbohydrates and carbohydrate biodiversity, and each chapter now contains study questions for self-learning and classroom teaching.
From the contents:
* Introduction to Carbohydrates
* Structure of Saccharides
* Protecting Groups for Carbohydrates
* O-Glycoside Synthesis
* Modifications and Functionalizations of the Sugar Ring
* Glycoconjugates - Structure and Biosynthesis
* Combinatorial Synthesis of Carbohydrates
* Glycobiology and Glycomics
* Purification and Analysis of Carbohydrates
* The Literature of Carbohydrate Chemistry
Didactically written by an experienced lecturer and graduate student advisor, the text is backed by practical examples and many study questions tailored to students' needs.
