From the reviews:“Peptidomics–Methods and Protocols focuses on high-throughput techniques for the analysis of peptidomes from a wide range of biological systems … . The procedures covered in this book encompass a number of model and non-model organisms, and most chapters have been written by distinguished researchers who have made major contributions to their respective fields. Peptidomics–Methods and Protocols is an indispensable reference book for specialists, but also an introductory work for newcomers to the rapidly developing discipline of peptidomics.”­­­ (Juan J. Calvete, Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, Vol. 398, September, 2010)“The editor and co-authors of this volume must be congratulated on a comprehensive collection of very diverse peptidomics protocols that serve as an excellent introduction for a novice in this field. At the same time, the book provides the expert researcher with highly detailed experimental procedures and practical advice for the analysis of complex mixtures of peptides from a variety of sources. I warmly recommend this book to anyone interested in the field of peptidomics.” (Christian A. Olsen, ChemBioChem, Vol. 11, August, 2010)
