Sommario/riassunto

Substances that inhibit sugar degradation in the body, so-called "glycosidase inhibitors" are used in the therapy of diabetes mellitus.



They are important aids to explain the construction and degradation, particularly of complex carbohydrate side chains such as those found in glycoproteins and glycolipids. This book gives a representative cross-section of the field. A table of more than 400 glycosidase inhibitors completes the book.
