Advances in Macromolecular Carbohydrate Research

Significant advances in carbohydrate research have been made in the knowledge of the structure and function of carbohydrates in the macromolecular state. This title addresses those areas in which the authors believe the important work is being carried out. It deals with the advances made in the chemistry, biochemistry and biology of carbohydrates.
