Carbohydrate Analysis: A Practical Approach (Practical Approach Series)

The involvement of carbohydrates in biological processes has greatly fuelled the current interest in this diverse range of molecules. This book has been produced in order to answer the need for a handbook of up-to-date laboratory protocols in this field. It gives details of the approach neededto analyze a wide variety of carbohydrates and carbohydrate-containing molecules, such as polysaccharides, glycoproteins, and glycolipids, and shows how particular analytical problems should be tackled. This second edition of a very successful title in the Practical Approach series covers the newmethods that are now being used, particularly those involving HPLC, mass spectrometry, supercritical fluid chromatography, capillary electrophoresis, and NMR.Chaplin, M. F. is the author of 'Carbohydrate Analysis: A Practical Approach (Practical Approach Series)', published 1994 under ISBN 9780199634507 and ISBN 0199634505.
