Essentials of carbohydrate chemistry and biochemistry - Tapa blanda

"...a very readable book which presents carbohydrate chemistry and, in later sections, biochemistry as exciting areas to work and study. The author captures a sense of wonder and inspiration from the very elegance of these areas of science and their application in the real worlds of pharmaceutical and medical research. I look forward to Dr. Lindhorst's next book." The Alchemist

Carbohydrate molecules are nature's most common product, biosynthesized by living organisms by the millions of tons each year. As stores of energy and structural building blocks, they are versatile enough to serve as encoders of biological information and to be involved in recognition processes at a molecular level. This text in its second edition continues to look in-depth at the carbohydrates crucial to life while incorporating developments in this research area.
