Carbohydrate Nanotechnology

by Keith J. Stine (Editor)

Overview

Introducing the emerging field carbohydrate nanostructures, this book will be a unique resource for interested researchers to learn a range of methods of applying the field to their own work. Greater access, as well as greater collaboration, to this new interdisciplinary field is intended for both synthetic carbohydrate chemists and researchers in nanoscience related fields. It covers:

• the main types of nanostructures presently under investigation for modification by carbohydrates, including nanoparticles, nanorods, magnetic particles, dendrimers, nanoporous, and surface confined structures
• overview and introduction to the field of carbohydrate nanotechnology, and especially its applications to its biological systems
• Provides a unique resource for researchers to learn about the techniques used to characterize the physical and biological properties of carbohydrate-modified nanostructures

About the Author

Keith J. Stine, PhD, is Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at University of Missouri — St. Louis. He spent two years as a postdoctoral researcher at University of California Los Angeles working in the field of monolayers at the water-air interface in the lab of Prof. Charles M. Knobler. His research has focused on a range of projects related to molecular organization and recognition at interfaces, often of biological significance, including monolayers of chiral molecules, cyclodextrins, natural product –membrane interactions, and most recently of carbohydrate derivatives in collaboration with Prof. Alexei Demchenko. His work in the area of carbohydrate nanotechnology involves the application of nanoporous gold as a support for iterative carbohydrate synthesis and for the study of carbohydrate — protein binding.
