This text offers a solid background in the conformation of carbohydrates with a brief description of the methods used for their analysis. It provides information on the conformations of mono-, di-, oligo- and polysaccharides and a basis for understanding the interactions between themselves and with proteins, nucleic acids or any other macromolecule. The authors have gathered a wealth of information on carbohydrate structures, different methods of conformational analysis, the role of carbohydrates as recognition molecules in biological systems, and their industrial applications.This book is a "

Carbohydrates, or sugars, form an extensive class of natural organic compounds that constitute the major fraction of the organic substance on our planet. Carbohydrates are found in many fields of research, from fundamental study of living objects and problems of organic chemistry to applied fields such as food industry, the industry of artifical materials or production of explosives. This book is aimed at researchers interested in carbohydrate studies and professionals whose field is far from the subject but who need information on carbohydrates. Its focus is on fundamental aspects of the stru

An easy-to-use reference source for all scientists working with carbohydrates, the Dictionary of Carbohydrates with CD-ROM, Second Edition builds on the success of its previous edition by providing a substantially increased number of compounds. The presentation is sharpened by a careful review of existing entries. With 24,000 compounds, it represents a much enlarged and revised new edition of the dictionary first published in 1998. Each entry contains a wealth of information which includes: names and synonyms, molecular formulae, chemical structures, accurate mass, UV spectra, extensive source

Carbohydrate chemistry has seen a resurgence of interest stimulated by increasing awareness of the roles of these substances in biological recognition regulation. In addition, the increasing power of theoretical, physical and synthetic methods have enabled deeper insights into the properties of carbohydrates and their potential for exploitation. Carbohydrates presents a contemporary picture of our knowledge of the structures and syntheses of monosaccharide, oligosaccharide and glycopeptide units, and the properties of some important examples and derivatives including sulphates and po

This book is on carbohydrates-the essential molecules that give you energy. They are the building blocks of life. This book delivers up-to-date coverage on all aspects of carbohydrate chemistry. The molecules are sometimes sugars, i.e. "sweet," hence the subtitle "The Sweet Molecules of Life."Carbohydrates first gives the "nuts and bolts" of carbohydrate chemistry, enabling the reader to appreciate the subsequent chapters on protecting groups and the reactions of monosaccharides. (The protecting groups do just that-they are put on the molecules as a temporary measure during one or more reactio
