Description
This work describes the determination of structure and function of glycoconjugates that occur on the cell surface and in molecules involved in cell-matrix interactions. The book covers basic background and technical information. It includes coverage of the structure of cell surface carbohydrates, biosynthesis of glycoproteins, biological signals associated with glycoproteins and diversity of glycoprotein structure. The text is specifically designed to inform researchers in diverse disciplines of the approaches and resources that can be employed to address problems in glycoconjugate biology.
