Introduction to Glycobiology

The structures of sugars attached to cells and proteins have been investigated by biochemists for more than one hundred years. The discipline of glycobiology has emerged more recently, as key principles about the vital biological functions of these complex sugars have been established and their importance for the suudy of cell biology and immunology has become apparent. Introduction to Glycobiology is the first textbook to present the essential elements of glycobiology to undergraduates and othe…
