Glycoscience: Chemistry and Chemical Biology I-III Summary

Glycoscience: Chemistry and Chemical Biology I-III by Bertram O. Fraser-Reid

Glycostructures play a highly diverse and crucial role in a myriad of organisms and systems in biology, physiology, medicine, and bioengineering and technology. Only in recent years have the tools been developed to partly understand the highly complex functions and chemistry behind them. In this set the editors present up-to-date information on glycostructures, their chemistry and chemical biology, in the form of a comprehensive survey. The text is accompanied by over 2000 figures, chemical structures and reaction schemes and more than 9000 references. The accompanying CD-ROM enables, besides text searches, searches for structures, schemes, and other information.

Glycoscience: Chemistry and Chemical Biology I-III Reviews

From the reviews:

"This set is certainly the most comprehensive to date in the fields of carbohydrate chemistry and chemical biology. The strength of this resource are in the range of topics covered, the well-organized and detailed presentations, and the selection of contributing authors, all of whom are experts ... . The usefulness of this set is further enhanced by the inclusion of a CD-ROM containing all three volumes. ... Overall, the set will be a useful reference for seasoned veterans as well as novices in carbohydrate research." (Hung-wen Liu, Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol. 125 (3), 2003)

"These three volumes provide, in a useful and pleasing format, an impressively comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the chemistry and chemical biology of carbohydrates. They help the reader to access the accumulated knowledge from over 120 years of research in this area, in a form that nonspecialists too will find useful. A CD-ROM is also available to facilitate searching in the work." (Till Opatz and Horst Kunz, Angewandte Chemie, Vol. 42 (1), 2003)
