Preface Proteins are one of the most important classes of molecules in living cells and tissues. Proteins and their complexes are involved in virtually all cellular processes including catalysis of biochemical reactions, transport of molecules across membranes, cell growth and division, cell adhesion and migration, and providing structural support. Characterizing the quantity, association, and activity of proteins is therefore critical for understanding the molecular mechanisms of cellular processes involved in cell differentiation and fate, cell signaling, disease progression, and for discovery and development of novel therapeutics, vaccines, and diagnostics. Measuring DNA and RNA can provide qualitative information on gene
