文档介绍：Carbohydrates:
The Essential Molecules of Life
The front cover shows a representation of the solution structure of a heparin fragment,
determined by NMR spectroscopy (Protein Data Bank code: 1hpn).
The investigations on sugars are proceeding very gradually. It will perhaps interest
you that mannose is the geometrical isomer of grape sugar. Unfortunately, the
experimental difficulties in this group are so great, that a single experiment takes
more time in weeks than other classes pounds take in hours, so only very
rarely a student is found who can be used for this work. Thus, nowadays, I often face
difficulties in trying to find themes for the doctoral theses.
