Filling a gap in the current literature for a book with this emphasis, this ready reference presents a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in this emerging field, ranging from cyclodextrin chemistry to the synthesis of such highly complex glycoconjugates as glycosphingolipids and GPI anchors, plus much more besides. Retaining a strong focus on the synthetic aspects throughout, the book is an excellent source of information for those already involved in carbohydrate chemistry, as well as for those organic chemists who are beginners in this field. Equally of high interest to synthetic chemists, as well as medicinal and biochemists.
