Carbohydrates in Drug Design and Discovery
Within the "Drug Discovery Series" edited by the Royal Society of Chemistry, number 44 deals with a series of chapters aiming at presenting the most recent facets of the importance of carbohydrates in drug design and discovery. Written by recognized experts in their own fields, a collection of 12 chapters presents a contemporaneous description of either methodological advances or achievements in the development of carbohydrates based therapeutics.
