Description

The place of molecular modelling in drug design is now firmly established. This book contains chapters from young scientists in industry and academia. They present many of the new methods available as well as describing the correct use of more established techniques. The book attempts to combine optimism, including methods designed to semi-automate a large part of the drug design process, with pragmatism, pointing out some of the traps into which the unwary researcher may be drawn.

Description

This book provides a myriad of fresh ideas and energetic approaches to the newer aspects of everyday drug modelling. With contributions from some of the best young talents of today, Molecular Modelling and Drug Design encourages a break from old traditions and probes the unexplored avenues of the modelling tool. The contributors' views act as a gauge to future trends in computer-aided drug design-an area that continues to expand and play an ever more significant role in drug discovery.
