About the Book

An easy-to-use reference source for all scientists working with carbohydrates, the Dictionary of Carbohydrates with CD-ROM, Second Edition builds on the success of its previous edition by providing a substantially increased number of compounds. The presentation is sharpened by a careful review of existing entries. With 24,000 compounds, it represents a much enlarged and revised new edition of the dictionary first published in 1998. Each entry contains a wealth of information which includes: names and synonyms, molecular formulae, chemical structures, accurate mass, UV spectra, extensive source data, physical properties, uses and key literature citations.

The new edition of this authoritative reference features a structure-searchable CD-ROM that provides quick, convenient access to essential information. The combination of 33 searchable text fields and full substructure searching capability provides the carbohydrate chemist with the tools to instantly search the entire database for the relevant information. Search results can be viewed on screen, printed or saved. This combination of book and CD gives you even more access to the information you need on a daily basis.
