Synopsis

Focusing on the synthesis and structure of protein and lipid-bound oligosaccharides, Glycobiology describes the mechanisms that cause these substances and carbohydrate-binding proteins to influence biological recognition and communication. Comprehensive chapters offer new and informative data on topics such as: the synthesis, structural characterization and biological functions of glycophosphoinositol lipids; the role of lectin-like molecules and carbohydrate receptors in cell-cell recognition events; the function of protein- and lipid-glycosylation in such diseases; and the concerns of pharmaceutical and biotechnological companies within this field.
