From the reviews:

"In this book the authors provide a detailed overview of the technology, including insights into basic chemistry and established applications. All protocols have been written by experienced researchers in SPOT technology and have therefore been optimized for practical use. ... It is ideally suited not only for basic research laboratories but also for diagnostic and therapeutic applications since many diseases are related to dysfunctions in protein recognition and binding." (New Drugs, Issue 7, October, 2002)

"Detailed protocols for peptide synthesis and the analysis of protein-protein, protein-DNA interactions as well as epitope mapping are presented in this manual. It is ideally suited not only for basic research laboratories but potentially also for diagnostic and therapeutic applications ... . This book provides a detailed overview of the technology, including insights into the basic chemistry and established applications. ... The book is suitable for researchers in basic research and in therapeutic applications as well as for advanced students." (Biotech International, Vol. 15 (2), 2003)
