Handbook of Proteomic Methods

"...covers recent advances and also acts as a manual of well-practiced techniques. This volume should appeal particularly to the uninitiated but contains several articles of interest to more experienced practitioners...As well as being an excellent guide, this volume in its entirety makes a strong case for the advantages in the application of these post-genomic technologies" - Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry "Handbook of Proteomic Methods includes a wide range of techniques for identifying and analyzing proteins expressed in cells. As many other Humana Press method books, this is another must-have for large academic libraries supporting research in complex biological systems and drug development." -E-STREAMS "This is a very well produced volume with excellent diagrams and reproduction of difficult images such as 2-D gels...deserves a place on the proteomic researchers' bookshelf." - Chromatographia
