The synthesis of novel carbohydrates and carbohydrate mimetics continues to be a major challenge for organic chemists, not least because of the increasingly interdiscipliniary nature of carbohydrate science. Covering both chemical and biological science related to the particular volume topic, this series demonstrates the interdisciplinary nature of modern carbohydrate research, and will be of great benefit to any researcher who wishes to learn about the latest developments in the carbohydrate field.
