From the Back Cover
‘Carbohydrates: The Essential Molecules of Life’ gives a broad, modern treatment of the structure, properties and reactions of monosaccharides. This knowledge is then used in the chemical synthesis of the glycosidic linkage. Enzymes can also break and create this linkage, resulting in many of the essential molecules of life: polysaccharides, glycoproteins and proteoglycans.
