Overview

'Oligosaccharides have for a long time been the central topic in carbohydrate chemistry. It is therefore essential that students entering research in modern carbohydrate chemistry be taught the essentials about oligosaccahride chemistry and biology. The present book tries to meet this demand and succeeds quite well... All in all the book is excellent for its purpose as an introduction to the beginning graduate student. It teaches the basics about oligosaccharide synthesis and biology in an easily understandable and entertaining way. I gave the book to a couple of my students, and they were very happy with it' The Royal Society of Chemistry 'This book is an easy readable introduction to the present state of knowledge on the synthesis of oligosaccharides. The authors lead the reader gently, step-by-step, into the complex subject of carbohydrate chemistry... Altogether this is an excellent book which can be recommended for students and practicing chemists who seek an overview of the current state of the synthesis of oligosaccharides' Angewandte ChemieMany universities are introducing courses in Carbohydrate Chemistry and Medicinal Chemistry within their undergraduate and graduate courses. This is a result of recent research within carbohydrate science that has highlighted the importance of these previously poorly understood biomolecules. Few books are currently available which cover carbohydrate synthesis and biology within one text.
