Description
The interest in carbohydrates of glycoproteins has greatly intensified in the past few years. The recent development of recombinant glycoproteins for therapeutic purposes necessitates the understanding of the structure-function relationship in glycoproteins has significantly expanded. For instance, it is now known that carbohydrate-protein interaction is one of the most critical events in leukocytendothelial cell interaction. Such developments in biology and
medicine require an updated methodology that aims at the basic understanding of the structure and biosynthesis of glycoproteins. In this book, the chapters are assembled to provide basic background and methods in order to allow one to analyse the structures of glycoproteins. The subjects covered include
isolation, fractionation and structural characterization of typical glycoproteins, such as those containing N-glycans. The book also covers the phosphatidylinositol anchor, a new type of glycosylation to attach proteins to membranes.

Description
An introduction to basic methods of analysing the structure of glycans attached to glycoproteins Comprehensive coverage - from simple methods to more sophisticated techniques The clear, step-by-step protocols are easy to follow and will enable the reader to determine the complete structure of glycans attached to proteins. With rapid development and heightened interest in carbohydrates of glycoproteins over recent years, this book provides an essential guide to this field for all levels of researchers. This book is intended for graduate students and post-doctoral researchers, in both an academic and industrial setting, who are interested in the analysis of carbohydrates and glycoproteins.
