Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This 1994 book is a summary of Professor Waren's pivotal research on the special properties of bound carbohydrates in nature.
MoreLong description:
This 1994 book is based on a series of six lectures delivered at the University of Sienna under the auspices of the Lezioni Lincee. The content of the book reflects and delineates the author's career in biochemical research. The lectures revolve around the special role which bound carbohydrates play in nature. Also discussed are the properties of membrane glycoproteins, involved in the resistance of cells to drugs. The metabolism of sugars and sialic acids, which form a pivotal role in the author's research, are covered in detail. The book chronicles just some of the huge advances which have been made in biochemistry over the past few decades and will prove an invaluable and entertaining first hand account for researchers and graduate students.
MoreTable of Contents:
1. Introduction, history, microheterogeneity of bound carbohydrates; function of bound carbohydrates; inducible changes in bound carbohydrates; programmed changes in bound carbohydrates; a possible role for bound carbohydrates; 2. Sialic acids; distribution of sialic acids in nature; the metabolism of hexamines and sialic acids; metabolic control of hexosamines and sialic acids; asparagine N-glycosylation; processing of lysomal enzymes; biosynthesis of O-linked oligosaccarides; modification of sialic acids; sialidases; genetic metabolic disorders involving sialic acids, glycosidases, bound carbohydrates in malignancy; 3. Multidrug resistance, properties of P-glycoprotein; lysomes and multidrug resistance; kinetics of influx and efflux of drugs, modulation of multidrug resistance; the role of lipids in the accumulation of drugs by MDR cells; P-170 and membrane lipids; Overview.
