Includes bibliographical references and index.

The 'Nuts and Bolts' of Carbohydrates -- Synthesis and Protecting Groups -- The Reactions of Monosaccharides -- The Formation of the Glycosidic Linkage -- Oligosaccharide Synthesis -- Monosaccharide Metabolism -- Enzymatic Cleavage of Glycosides: Mechanism, Inhibition and Synthetic Applications -- Glycosyltransferases -- Disaccharides, Oligosaccharides and Polysaccharides -- Modifications of Glycans and Glycoconjugates -- Glycoproteins and Proteoglycans -- Classics in Carbohydrate Chemistry and Glycobiology.

This book provides the "nuts and bolts" background for a successful study of carbohydrates - the essential molecules that not only give you energy, but are an integral part of many biological processes. A question often asked is 'Why do carbohydrate chemistry?' The answer is simple: It is fundamental to a study of biology. Carbohydrates are the building blocks of life and enable biological processes to take place. Therefore the book will provide a taste for the subject of glycobiology.
