This book provides current glycoinformatics methods and protocols used to support the
determination of carbohydrate structures in biological samples as well as carbohydrate
structure databases the interaction of carbohydrates with proteins and theoretical and
experimental methods to study their three-dimensional structure and dynamics. Glycoinformatics
explores this recently emerged field which has come into being in order to address the needs
of encoding storing and analyzing carbohydrate 'sequences' and their taxonomy using
computers. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format
chapters contain the kind of detailed description and key implementation advice to ensure
successful results.Authoritative and timely Glycoinformatics demonstrates the progress that
has been achieved in glycoinformatics which indicates that it is no longer a niche subject
covered by only a few scientists but is truly coming of age.
