Essentials of Glycobiology, Third Edition

For the third edition, the summary of current glycobiology has expanded from vertebrate and multi-cellular animals to explore glycans in all domains of life. It covers general principles, structure and biosynthesis, glycans in evolution and development, glycan-binding proteins, glycans in physiology and disease, and methods and applications. Specific topics include glycosyltransferases and glycan-processing enzymes, proteoglycans and sulfated glycosamingoglycans, the discovery and classification of glycan-binding proteins, glycans in acquired human diseases, and the chemoenzymatic synthesis of glycans and glycoconjugates.
