This primer seeks to strip off some of the mystery that often surrounds carbohydrate chemistry, a subject taught in all undergraduate courses, by highlighting and summarizing some of the central principles and ideas and by illustrating them with both classical and state-of-the-art examples. Undergraduate students of chemistry and biochemistry.

Introduction Open chain and ring structure of monosaccharide Reactions of the anomeric centre Reactions of hydroxyl groups Reactions of the anomeric centre Reactions of hydroxyl groups Chemical disaccharide formation Enzymatic disaccharide formation Chemical glycobiology Appendix: drawing sugars Answers to problems Further reading Index Carbohydrates are a vital part not only of metabolism, but are implicated as key coding molecules in a host of subtle biological events. The exploration of the role and the manipulation of this wonderful class of molecules is an exciting and ever changing field.
