Description
Book SynopsisThis resource provides an integrated and comprehensive overview ofmodern approaches to drug lead discovery. Each chapter in this bookreviews the theoretical background and application of a keytechnology in drug discovery, complemented by relevant casestudies.
Trade Review"The book provides a comprehensive overview of many aspects of the lead generation process . . . The book delivers a good introduction to the process of lead generation for novice researchers. It is also useful for more experienced scientists to update their knowledge and/or to identify some new details." (ChemMedChem, October 2010)
"This volume is recommended to chemists and biologists who wish to learn about the practice of high throughput screening and about the concepts involved in making the method a successful route to drug discovery." (Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 2010)"Each chapter provides a comprehensive overview of one aspect of the lead generation process. To get more indepth knowledge, extensive references including recent publications are given." (ChemMedChem, 2010)
