Glycan Microarrays: Methods and Protocols

This volume encompasses short targeted reviews and methods featuring the construction and use of glycan microarray platforms. Chapters guider readers through glycan microarrays comprised of synthetic glycans, natural biomolecules, bacteria, neoglycoproteins, various applications and progress of these platforms. Written in the format of the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, each chapter includes an introduction to the topic, lists necessary materials and reagents, includes tips on troubleshooting and known pitfalls, and step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols. Authoritative and cutting-edge, Glycan Microarrays: Methods and Protocols aims to highlight the interdisciplinary nature of the development and use of the glycan microarray platform.
