Protein-Carbohydrate Interactions Is An Exciting Area Of Research With Huge Potential For Development And Exploration. These Interactions Are Both Widespread And Diverse In Biological Processes And Many Play A Crucial Role In Cellular Recognition, Attachment And Adhesion. This Is Particularly True For Host-Pathogen Interactions That Lead To Infectious Diseases; As The Surfaces Of Cells And Pathogens Display Complex Carbohydrate Structures And Carbohydrate Binding Proteins On Their Surface.
Protein-Carbohydrate Interactions In Infectious Disease Is Part Of The Biomolecular Science Series And Provides A Comprehensive Overview Of The Subject, With Contributions From Leading Experts In The Field.
Beginning With A General Introduction, Subsequent Sections Include: Atomic Basis Of Protein-Carbohydrate Interactions, Structures And Roles Of Pseudomonas Areuginosa Lectins, Protein-Carbohydrate Interactions In Enterobacterial Infections, Retrocyclins: Miniature Lectins With Potent Antiviral Activity, C-Type Lectin Receptors That Regulate Pathogen Recognition Through The Recognition Of Carbohydrates, Synthetic Carbohydrate-Based Anti-Malarial Vaccines And Glycobiology.
With Full Colour Throughout And An Extensive Bibliography This Book Is Ideal For Researchers Interested In The Area.
