Synopsis:

The study of carbohydrates in biology is one of the longest-established aspects of the subject. This book describes the role of carbohydrates in biology at a level which is suitable for undergraduate students in biochemistry, biology and the medical sciences.

Synopsis: The growth of interest in certain areas of carbohydrate biochemistry in recent years has made it opportune to draw together the ideas of carbohydrate functions and to present them within a framework of established knowledge. Two areas are particularly emphasised: firstly, the metabolic reactions of carbohydrates, and the functions of such reactions in the organism; secondly, the metabolism and functions of carbohydrate polymers. To illustrate these ideas, specific examples have been chosen from a number of different animals, plants, and micro-organisms.
