Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
The major bottleneck in carbohydrate research is the limited availability of biologically important oligosaccharides. For the elucidation of their biological functions, efficient synthetic methodologies in oligosaccharide synthesis are necessary in this research field. Therefore, this Special Issue of Molbank focuses on “Organic Synthesis of Carbohydrates”. We encourage authors to submit short papers that cover the synthesis of novel carbohydrate-based compounds and improved preparation methods of mono- and disaccharide building blocks for oligosaccharide synthesis. The development of glycosylation methods and protecting groups for carbohydrates are also welcome.
