Bibtex being bibtex

Do you notice any difference between this:


@article{Dashnau2007Computational,
    abstract = {.....}
    author = {Dashnau, J. L. and Vanderkooi, J. M.},
    journal = {J. Food Sci.},
    month = jan,
    number = {1},
    pages = {R001--R010},
    title = {{Computational Approaches to Investigate How Biological Macromolecules Can Be Protected in Extreme Conditions}},
    volume = {72},
    year = {2007}
}

and this:


@article{Dashnau2007Computational,
    abstract = {.....}
    author = {Dashnau, J. L. and Vanderkooi, J. M.},
    journal = {J. Food Sci.}
    month = jan,
    number = {1},
    pages = {R001--R010},
    title = {{Computational Approaches to Investigate How Biological Macromolecules Can Be Protected in Extreme Conditions}},
    volume = {72},
    year = {2007}
}

Well, I couldn't either. Notice the comma at the end of the journal entry? Well without the comma Bibtex ignores the ensuing metadata creating problems when compiling your document. Something to be careful about.
