Synopsis

 

Protein-carbohydrate interactions is an exciting area of research with huge potential for development and exploration. These interactions are both widespread and diverse in biological processes and many play a crucial role in cellular recognition, attachment and adhesion. This is particularly true for host-pathogen interactions that lead to infectious diseases; as the surfaces of cells and pathogens display complex carbohydrate structures and carbohydrate binding proteins on their surface.

 

Protein-Carbohydrate Interactions in Infectious Diseases provides a comprehensive overview of the subject, with contributions from leading experts in the field. Beginning with a general introduction, subsequent sections include

- Atomic basis of protein-carbohydrate interactions

- Structures and roles of Pseudomonas areuginosa lectins

- Protein-carbohydrate interactions in enterobacterial infections

- Retrocyclins: miniature lectins with potent antiviral activity

- C-type lectin receptors that regulate pathogen recognition through the recognition of carbohydrates

- Synthetic carbohydrate-based anti-malarial vaccines and glycobiology

 

With full colour throughout and an extensive bibliography this book is ideal for researchers interested in the area.
