"The book is strategically subdivide into 3 sections (isolation and purification; expression, detection, and degradation; interactions) with a total of 51 chapters ( 19, 20, and 12 per subheading). Their contents dispel the clichés about work with sticky glycosaminoglycans being tedious, unrewarding, and mostly for the sake of old-fashioned...systematics....I expect even experts in certain areas to benefit from the whole ... Read morebook, whose rightful place will be on the bench, not on the shelf." - ChemBioChem "This book will appeal to both those new to the subject and experts in the field as the protocols outlined are both wide ranging, comprehensive, and easy to follow....strongly recommend it to those new to proteoglycan research, and would regard it as an essential addition to any proteoglycan research laboratory library." - Molecular Biotechnology "...this book will be a very useful tool for many specialists working in the fields of glycobiology, biotechnology, biochemistry, and experimental medicine. Detailed description of the methods employed for various aspects of proteoglycan analysis and comprehensive bibliography accompanying each chapter make this book especially valuable for a large audience of the mentioned specialists." - Biochemistry Show Less
