Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Defined in the broadest sense, glycobiology is the study of the structure, biosynthesis, and biology of saccharides (sugar chains or glycans) that are widely distributed in nature. Sugars or saccharides are essential components of all living things and aspects of the various different roles they play in biology are researched in various different medical, biochemical and biotechnological fields.The specific term glycobiology was coined on 1 August 1988 in the Oxford English Dictionary by Prof. Raymond Dwek to recognize the coming together of the traditional disciplines of carbohydrate chemistry and biochemistry. This coming together was as a result of a much greater understanding of the cellular and molecular biology of glycans. However as early as the late nineteenth century pioneering efforts were being made by Emil Fisher to establish the structure ofsome basic sugar molecules.
