| Sumario: | Awareness of the biological significance of glycans and glycoconjugates continues to grow by leaps and bounds. Taking a cue from chemical biology, in general, the volumes in this two part treatment present strategies and methods from diverse fields of biochemistry, biophysics, bioinformatics, organic chemistry, and engineering, to examine glycans and their myriad functions. Volumes 597 and 598 encompass two interrelated areas: Synthesis, manipulation and applications of glycans B (v.597), and, Monitoring glycans and their interactions (v.598). The central theme of volume 597 concerns enzymes that assemble and process glycans and glycoconjugates. Glycans play a wide range of fundamental roles in all aspects of life in mono- and multicellular organisms, and the essentiality and diversity of carbohydrates in biology are no longer well-kept secrets. The development of these volumes on the theme of chemical glycobiology spotlights the significance and impact chemical biology approaches have on the advancement of glycobiology. |
