We thank Ramos-Silva et al. (1) for their thoughtful comments on our work recently published in PNAS (2). We agree that careful cleaning of biomineral samples is indeed necessary for appropriate proteomic analysis. However, we respectfully disagree with their interpretation of our cleaning methods and our decision to include certain proteins in our final list of 36 potential biomineralization proteins.
