Volume 36 will be dedicated to carbohydrate-based vaccines and to the utilization of the azide functionality in chemical and biological areas of the glycosciences. There are recent reports on interesting applications of azides in this area, and as starting materials for a variety of important bioactive carbohydrates. Hence, the synthesis, reactivity and application of azides in glycomics will also be included in this volume.
