Carbohydrates are ubiquitous. They densely carpet cell surfaces. They are the main component of the extracellular matrix that surrounds cells. They are involved in many aspects of cell-cell ...

Carbohydrates are one of the most essential food groups in the diet of all animals, including humans. They provide essential elements the body needs for instant energy production and various vital ...

Scientists have been unable to determine the structure of a biologically important so-called GAG proteoglycan -- or even to agree whether these remarkably complex molecules have well-defined ...

Carbohydrates, as the name suggests, refers to the hydrates of carbon comprising carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen and oxygen present in carbohydrates is in the ratio of 2:1. Carbohydrates are ...

With the background on the structure and metabolism of the carbohydrate-containing proteins presented in the first part of this review one can now consider the properties, both chemical and biologic, ...

Carbohydrate polymers possess the general chemical formula Cn(H2O)m, in that there are generally two hydrogen atoms for every oxygen atom, though the ratio between n and m may vary, and not all ...

An introductory biochemistry course covering the fundamental concepts of protein structure and function as well as metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids and amino acids. The focus will be on energy ...
