Description and Table of Contents

Description

Reviews the use of synthetic oligosaccharides in biochemistry, immunology, pharmaceutical and medicinal chemistry. Presents strategies for synthesis of complex oligosaccharides. Discusses the mechanisms of interaction between carbohydrates and biologically important proteins, such as enzymes, immunoglobulins, and receptor proteins. Valuable reading for biochemists, immunologists, pharmaceutical chemists, organic synthetic chemists, pharmacologists, and researchers in the life sciences.
