This volume details methods and protocols for the synthesis and characterization of glycopolymers and their biomedical applications. Chapters are divided into three parts covering synthesis and characterization of glycopolymers; glycopolymer-nanoparticle conjugates; and surface immobilized glycopolymers. Written for the Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Authoritative and practical, Macro-Glycoligands: Methods and Protocols aims to ensure successful results in the further study of this vital field.
