INDEX.

"I highly recommend this book for anyone planning to get involved
in proteomics technology or for one who is already
involved...it provides an entertaining insight on the field..."
(Microbe, March 2006)

"...a must reference for anyone interested in proteomics. For
me, if Proteomics Today is not in my backpack it will be within
arms reach as a great reference to have on hand as I plan future
experiments." (Journal of the American Society for Mass
Spectrometry, January 2006)

"...the book is highly recommended to all scientists
interested in protein separation science, and well-thumbed copies
will certainly be present in every self-respecting proteomic
laboratory." (Proteomics, July 2005)

'This book is well written and thus easy to read. It
contains valuable information and extensive references for readers
from a variety of backgrounds.' (Analytical and
Bioanalytical Chemistry, 12 January 2007)
