This book collects new research by experts from around the world on the complex and exciting fields of glycobiology and glycotechnology. It presents the reader with new findings to offer a thorough overview of the current state of these fields, as well as suggesting new directions for research. The first part presents the reader with insights into the complex world of polysaccharides. The contributors demonstrate their findings on topics including the biophysical world of exopolysaccharides of the biofilm matrix, polysaccharide-protein interactions, and the future of synthetic carbohydrate vaccines. Part two showcases studies in both glycobiology and glycotechnology. New perspectives are given on topics such as carbohydrate microarray, food structure and carbohydrate digestibility, and novel applications for algal polysaccharides. Finally, in part three the reader will find innovative research on glycosylation. Topics include the unravelling of glycobiology by NMR spectroscopy, the role of glycosylation in receptor signalling, and the distribution and characterization of mycobacterial glycolipids. This informative collection will be of relevance to graduate students and advanced researchers in this area of biochemistry.
