A question often asked is 'Why do carbohydrate chemistry?' The answer is simple: It is fundamental to a study of biology. Carbohydrates are the building blocks of life and enable biological processes to take place. Therefore the book will provide a taste for the subject of glycobiology UR - http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&doc_number=016769146&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA ER -
