Protein-Carbohydrate Interactions in Infectious Diseases PDF
Edited by Carole A (National Institutes of Health, USA) Bewley
Part of the RSC Biomolecular Sciences series
Description
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 Disease is part of the Biomolecular Science Series and 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.
