Inhaltsangabe

The new edition of Essentials of Glycobiology covers the general principles and describes the structure and biosynthesis, diversity and function of glycans and their relevance to both normal physiologic processes and human disease. Several new chapters present significant advances that have occurred since the publication of the first edition. Three sections of note describe organismal diversity, advances in our understanding of disease states and related therapeutic applications, and the genomic view of Glycobiology. Glycomics , analogous to genomics and proteomics, is the systematic study of all glycan structures of a given cell type or organism, and paves the way for a more thorough understanding of the functions of these ubiquitous molecules.
