Experimental Glycoscience: Glycobiology / Edition 1

by Naoyuki Taniguchi, Akemi Suzuki, Yukishige Ito, Hisashi Narimatsu, Toshisuke Kawasaki

Overview

The aim of this book is to provide experimental prools covering many aspects of glycobiology, glycotechnology, and chemistry: biochemistry, molecular and cellular biology, genetics, physiology, and medicine. The prools are all self-contained descriptions of the equipment and reagents needed, followed by details of the experimental procedure.

In the post-genomic era, glycobiology is coming of age because more than half of proteins are glycosylated and the importance of sugar chains in various fields of life science research cannot be disregarded. Many scientists had not entered this area because glycobiology and glycoscience used to be considered difficult fields. This book, therefore, is presented much like a cookbook which can help scientists in fields other than glycobiology and glycoscience carry out research more easily.
