Description
This book is on carbohydrates-the essential molecules that give you energy. They are the building blocks of life. This book delivers up-to-date
coverage on all aspects of carbohydrate chemistry. The molecules are sometimes sugars, i.e. "sweet," hence the subtitle "The Sweet Molecules
of Life."
Carbohydrates first gives the "nuts and bolts" of carbohydrate chemistry, enabling the reader to appreciate
the subsequent chapters on protecting groups and the reactions of monosaccharides. (The protecting groups do just that-they are put on
the molecules as a temporary measure during one or more reactions to stop the wrong bit of the molecule being changed during that reaction.)
Audience
Researchers, scientists, and advanced undergraduate and graduate students in biochemistry and organic chemistry.
