"The text as a whole gives a thorough picture of the field and would be a welcome addition to the libraries of chemical biologistic from the graduate level and up in both academic and industrial settings…this is an excellent summary of the current state-of-the-art of the application of vibrational spectroscopy to the study of polymetric systems." (Journal of the American Chemical Society, April 2008)

"...Overall, there is no doubt that these three volumes will be the authoritative reference for those already working in the field and researchers wanting to get acquainted with the various topics in chemical biology. The informationen is clearly given by leading figures in each subdiscipline of chemical biology, and the reader can go straight to the chapter of interest. The book could also serve as support for teaching."

"...I found the book very stimulating, also in fields where I do not feel at home. It can also be used as a refernce book for the aread of chemical biology that are covered. I recommend it for a readership taht extends from then advanced PhD student with an interest in the subject to scientists already working in the field."

"In general, this compendium is very well-written and produced, although some figures are too small to be useful."  (Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, November 2007)
