Description for Bioinformatics for Glycobiology and Glycomics: An Introduction
Hardcover. This book is the first dedicated to the bioinformatics of carbohydrates and glycoproteins. It provides a state-of-the-art overview and demonstrates the value of bioinformatics for glycobiology, not simply as a review of databases and tools but rather as an introduction to a new branch of glycobiology. Editor(s): Lieth, Claus-Wilhelm von der; Luetteke, Thomas; Frank, Martin. Num Pages: 494 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: PSAK. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 254 x 175 x 31. Weight in Grams: 980.
This book is the first to be dedicated to the bioinformatics of carbohydrates and glycoproteins. It provides an introduction to this emerging field of science both for the experimentalist working in glycobiology and glycomics, and also for the computer scientist looking for background information for the development of highly sophisticated algorithmic approaches. The book provides an overview of the state-of-the-art in the field, with reviews on databases, and the tools in use for analysis, interpretation, and prediction of the structures of complex carbohydrates, and demonstrates the value of bioinformatics for glycobiology.

For a complete understanding of the molecular processes in which carbohydrates are involved, such as protein–carbohydrate interactions and the impact of glycosylation on protein function, knowledge of the 3D structure of the carbohydrate, the protein–carbohydrate complex, or the glycoprotein is often indispensable. This book provides a thorough introduction into methods used for conformational analysis of carbohydrates.
Key features:
- Describes bioinformatic approaches to handle carbohydrate-active enzymes and glycosylation.
- Provides an overview on bioinformatics tools that facilitate analysis of carbohydrate structures.
- Gives introduction into molecular modelling of carbohydrate 3D structure and carbohydrates contained in the Protein Databank.
- Assumes only a basic knowledge of biology and bioinformatics.

Reviews for Bioinformatics for Glycobiology and Glycomics: An Introduction
"This is an excellent and timely first comprehensive overview of the recent efforts directed toward organization and mining of data produced by the rapidly growing fields of glycobiology and glycomics." (The Quarterly Review of Biology, 1 March 2011)
