Kim S.-E. (Ed.) Marine Glycobiology: Principles and Applications

CRC Press, 2017. – 541 p. – ISBN: 9781498709613.
Marine glycobiology is the study of carbohydrate and carbohydrate with molecules (protein, lipids, enzymes, or small molecules). Glycoconjugates are glycan linked with other biological molecules. The study and research on marine glycobiology is less well-known. However, the recent development on analytical instruments and chemical characterizations increases the research on glycoconjugates. The knowledge gained of the exact chemical structure of marine glyconjugates increases its use in biological and biomedical applications.
Marine glycobiology is an emerging and exciting area in the field of science and medicine. Glycobiology, the study of the structure and function of carbohydrates and carbohydrate-containing molecules, is fundamental to all biological systems and represents a developing field of science that has made huge advances in the last half-century. This book revolutionizes the concept of marine glycobiology, focusing on the latest principles and applications of marine glycobiology and their relationships.Introduction to Marine Glycobiology
