Carbohydrate Chemistry
The 14 chapters contained in the Chemical Society Reviews of May 2013 devoted to Carbohydrate Chemistry provide a broad survey of recent advances in glycochemisty and chemical glycobiology. The chemical and analytical tools that have been generated for functional studies of glycan are providing great opportunities to make progress in deciphering the biological roles of these complex molecules and developing novel therapeutic agents.
