Sugars are familiar as vital sources of energy. Yet the biological importance of the sugars extends well beyond their value as cellular fuels. Introduction to Glycobiology reveals the true impact of the sugars on biological systems, explaining their function at the molecular, cellular, and organismal level. Employing a two-part structure, the book leads us through essential principles and concepts upon which the discipline is grounded, before exploring the diverse roles of sugars throughout biological systems, including development, cell signalling, and protein trafficking. It also emphasises the importance of glycobiology in disease, and explains how an understanding of the link ... Read more

Reviews for Introduction to Glycobiology
Review from previous edition This book is an absolute must for all lecturers and students alike of glycobiology ... Wholeheartedly recommended.
Microbiology Today, November 2006
It covers the breadth of glycobiology very well and provides sufficient depth to provide a platform for further research.
