| Review: | This multi-author reference book contains a comprehensive collection of articles that give an overview of methods available in carbohydrate research, together with practical technical information. An introductory chapter provides the background to the subject explains the scope of the book. The 29 review articles that follow discuss a broad range of topics covering the isolation and structure of complex carbohydrates, glycosylation in living cells, production of complex carbohydrates in living cells, cell-free enzymatic methods for carbohydrate synthesis, and chemical synthetic methods. The application of carbohydrate engineering in industry, biotechnology, and biomedicine and human health are also discussed. The book will be a useful source of reference to all researchers working this field. |
