Glycoproteins I

This volume is important as an information source for all glycoconjugate or glycobiology researchers (senior investigators, post-doctoral fellows and graduate students), and as a good, comprehensive, reference text to scientists working in the life sciences. Part 1 covers modern advances in the determination of glycoprotein structure and in the biosynthesis of mammalian, bacterial, yeast, plant and insect glycoproteins. There are also two chapters on functional aspects (glycoprotein hormones and collagens). Most contributors have focussed on discussing, in depth, the wealth of most recent advances in their field, and refer to previous reviews of older work for background information. This method produces a very wide subject coverage in a smaller number of chapters/volumes. The volume provides an information source for all glycobiologist researchers (senior investigators, post-doctoral fellows and graduate students), and a reference text for scientists working in the life sciences.
