Abstract

[Free carbohydrates are divided into monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides. This chapter gives the chemical structures of the most important monosaccharides. Molecular structural aspects will be conferred upon. Typical di- and polysaccharide structures are presented. Furthermore, the general composition of carbohydrate chains and their linkages to glycoconjugates, including glycoproteins, proteoglycans, and glycolipids, will be summarized. The participation of sugars in blood groups, in glyco(sphingo)lipids, and in GPI anchors will be discussed.]
