This book introduces the chemistry of carbohydrates, a family of molecules that have a central role in metabolism. This pivotal role in the biochemistry of life makes the study of carbohydrates important to both students of biochemistry and chemistry; this class of compound can also be used to illustrate some of the important principles of stereochemistry.
