• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Highlighting background information and practical applications, this text explores current and future research methodologies used in the characterization and synthesis of carbohydrates. The book emphasizes methods to characterize glycosylation pathways and expounds upon the role of carbohydrates in health and disease, a rapidly growing area of research. Experts discuss biomedical applications, including the development of vaccines, therapeutics, glycomimetics, antibody engineering, drug delivery, tissue engineering and organ regeneration, and diagnostic agents. It also covers important applications in agriculture, industry, food technology, and environmental remediation.
