Introduction to glycobiology third edition maureen e taylor and kurt drickamer the only text to make this important area of biochemistry accessible to an undergraduate audience illustrates the biological importance of sugars with diverse examples to stimulate and engage students throughout the biosciences. Introduction to glycobiology reveals the true impact of the sugars on biological systems explaining their function at the molecular cellular and organismal level and their clinical relevance the only text to make this important area of biochemistry accessible to an undergraduate audience illustrates the biological importance of sugars with . Because it is impossible to introduce the entire field of glycobiology in one chapter an introduction to the basic knowledge required to understand this book is provided for more detailed information readers are referred to a recently published comprehensive guide to the glycosciences by kamerling et al 2007.
