Abstract
The basic aspects of molecular genetics and protein biosynthesis are covered by all introductory courses on biochemistry and molecular biology and will not be discussed in this book. Little attention is paid, however, to the biosynthesis of glyco- conjugates. Since these substances are of pivotal importance for blood group serology, the formation of glycoconjugates will be discussed below in detail.
