Dieses mehrbändige Handbuch trägt der enormen Bedeutung von Kohlenhydraten in der Chemie, Biochemie und Molekularmedizin Rechnung. Umfassende Informationen zur Chemie, Biochemie, Analyse und physiologischen Bedeutung dieser vielfältigen Verbindungsklasse, darunter die kritische Diskussion von Vor- und Nachteilen der bekannten Synthesemethoden und ausführliche Literaturverweise, machen dieses praxisorientierte Werk zu einem unschätzbaren Nachschlagewerk.
Erstmals verbinden sich in einem Werk die boomenden Forschungsdisziplinen 'Glycobiology' und 'Glycochemistry'. Drei international führende Forscher haben über 100 Experten gewinnen können, über ihre Forschungsergebnisse und die Fortschritte auf Gebieten zu schreiben, wie Glycosylierungsmethoden, Strukturaufklärung, Bedeutung von Oligosacchariden bei Krankheiten wie AIDS, Krebs und Heuschnupfen, und vieles anderes mehr. Jeder, ob Chemiker, Biologe, Biochemiker oder Molekularmediziner, der sich mit Kohlenhydraten befassen muß, findet hier wertvolle Hinweise für die tägliche Arbeit. Aber auch zum ersten Mal die Möglichkeit, seine Arbeiten in einem größeren Kontext zu sehen!

Saccharide BiologyPart I: Chemistry of Saccharides
Carbohydrate Chemistry and Glycobiology have witnessed a rapid expansion during the last few years with the development of numerous new, imaginative and efficient syntheses which provide further insight into structures and biological interactions of glycoconjugates. Glycosylation reactions are widely used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and bio-active compounds. In biology and medicine oligosaccharides play a central role in immuno-stimulation, cancer or allergic responses. Glycoscience is a very instructive example of how one common topic of interest stimulates both chemistry and biology to collectively open scientific frontiers.
This synergy is made visible in this work. Three leading experts in the fields of Glycochemistry and Glycobiology have invited numerous renowned authors to provide a comprehensive overview of the recent advances and findings in Glycoscience. This four-volume handbook presents an integrated and cutting-edge view, and covers all chemical aspects, such as syntheses and analysis of carbohydrates and oligosaccharides, as well as the biological role and activity of oligosaccharides and carbohydrate/protein interactions.
