Carbohydrates have long been disregarded by the scientific
community due to their complex structure and a lack of suitable
experimental methods for structure determination. This book
provides an overview of the structure, function, and application
of carbohydrate-modifying biocatalysts. It explores
glycoconjugates and carbohydrate-modifying enzymes and the key
roles they play in biological processes such as recognition,
signal transduction, and immune responses. It discusses research
activities in glycoscience, including the development of several
new pharmaceuticals to treat malaria, cancer, and other diseases.
