The new 12 page Calbiochem brochure has a comprehensive collection of research products used in glycobiology research. The brochure includes several products under the following topics: Cell adhesion assay kits, glycan labeling kits, enzymes, antibodies for glycobiology research, substrates, sugars, lipopolysaccharides, and carbohydrate-protein interaction tools. This area of research has recently gained importance as new discoveries of the critical biological functions that carbohydrates play a role in, have been identified. Carbohydrates are currently in clinical trials for treatment of a lot of diseases including inflammation and tissue rejection as well as hepatitis and cancer. There are a number of major pharmaceutical companies trying to develop carbohydrate-based cancer drugs indicating the health importance of these sugars. | |
