| Summary |
Unlike amino acids and nucleic acids, carbohydrates have been disregarded for a longer time by the scientific community. The situation meanwhile changed with increasing knowledge about carbohydrates and glycoconjugates and the key roles they play in biological processes such as recognition, signal transduction, immune responses, and others. Furthermore, many diseases are based on dysfunctions of carbohydrate modifying enzymes and several carbohydrate-based pharmaceuticals have been developed in the recent past against diseases like malaria, cancer, various storage diseases, to name only some |
