Description
Book SynopsisHelps you choose the right computational tools and techniques to meet your drug design goals
Computational Drug Design covers all of the major computational drug design techniques in use today, focusing on the process that pharmaceutical chemists employ to design a new drug molecule. The discussions of which computational tools to use and when and how to use them are all based on typical pharmaceutical industry drug design processes.
Following an introduction, the book is divided into three parts:
-
Part One, The Drug Design Process, sets forth a variety of design processes suitable for a number of different drug development scenarios and drug targets. The author demonstrates how computational techniques are typically used during the design process, helping readers choose the best computational tools to meet their goals.
-
Part Two, Computational Tools and Techniques, offers a series of chapters, each one dedicated to a single computation
