Description
With the increase in volume, velocity and variety of information, researchers can find it difficult to keep up to date with the literature in their field. This invaluable volume contains analysed, evaluated and distilled information on the latest in carbohydrate research. The discovery and synthesis of novel carbohydrates and mimetics with diverse applications continues to be a major challenge for carbohydrate chemists. The understanding of the structure and function of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates remains vital in medicine and molecular biology.
This volume collates modern carbohydrate research from theory to application and demonstrates the importance of carbohydrates in new lead generation. It is of benefit to any researcher who wishes to learn about the latest developments in the carbohydrate field.

Persons
Dr Yves Queneau, Research Director at CNRS, is Head of the Organic and Bioorganic Chemistry Laboratory at INSA Lyon, Deputy-Director of the "Institut de Chimie et Biochimie Moleculaires et Supramoleculaires" (ICBMS), University of Lyon, France and Honorary Professor at the University of Hull, UK. After his doctorate on aqueous Diels-Alder reactions involving glycodienes under the supervision of Professor Andre Lubineau (Orsay, 1988) he was appointed as CNRS fellow and worked on cycloaddition reactions towards complex sugars. He then spent one year in 1992 in Professor Samuel J. Danishefsky's group in Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, USA. He later moved to Lyon in a mixed CNRS-industrial research facility dedicated to sucrose chemistry (1995-2003) before joining its present position where he develops his research in organic and biological chemistry with a particular interest for the use of carbohydrates as renewable raw materials.
