Description
This book draws together for the first time contributions from carbohydrate research in the areas of neurobiology, neuropathology, and neuropharmacology, highlighting the importance of carbohydrates in the understanding of neurobiology, the development of neuropathology and the commercialisation of neuropharmacological agents. Glycobiology is a relatively new field emerging in importance both in research institutes and industry. The chapters in this book focus on aspects of the present and future application of the study of glycobiology to brain biochemistry, from basic research on glycoconjugates to practical identification of carbohydrates in neuropathological studies and the relevance of structural studies in a pharmacological perspective.
