Glycobiology
Biochemistry of carbohydrates, aldehydic or ketonic derivative of polyhydric alcohols, the name being derived from the fact that the most common examples of such compounds have formulas that may be written Cn(H2O)n (e.g., glucose, C6(H2O)6; sucrose, C12(H2O)11), although they are not true hydrates and the name is in that sense a misnomer. The group includes compounds with relatively small molecules, such as the simple sThe study, at the molecular level, of the structural and functional roles of carbohydrate-containing structures and of the interactions of carbohydrates with other structures, especially proteins.
