Description and Table of Contents

Description

Six articles review the application of nuclear magnetic resonance, electron microscopy, X-ray fiber diffraction and conformational analysis to certain plant, animal, and microbial polysaccharides and carbohydrate polymers. The contributions on the shapes, geometries, and interactions of bacterial polysaccharides and blood-group related oligosaccharides stress the biological and medical functions of these compounds. Other contributions discuss the morphology, biosynthesis, and growth of plant cell walls and connective tissue polysaccharides. This collection will be of interest to biochemists, natural product chemists, plant physiologists, bacteriologists, cytologists, and biophysicists.
