Essentials of Carbohydrate Chemistry and Biochemistry
Carbohydrates are probably nature's most common product. Plants and algae biosynthesize millions of tons of them every year. Carbohydrates are stores of energy and structural building blocks; they are versatile enough to serve as encoders of biological information and, last but not least, they are involved in recognition processes at a molecular level. Research into carbohydrate and glycoconjugate functions in cell-to-cell communication processes has even created a new and rapidly developing field of study: glycobiology.
