Book Synopsis

With the most comprehensive and up-to-date overview of structure-based drug discovery covering both experimental and computational approaches, Structural Biology in Drug Discovery: Methods, Techniques, and Practices describes principles, methods, applications, and emerging paradigms of structural biology as a tool for more efficient drug development. Coverage includes successful examples, academic and industry insights, novel concepts, and advances in a rapidly evolving field.

The combined chapters, by authors writing from the frontlines of structural biology and drug discovery, give readers a valuable reference and resource that:

  • Presents the benefits, limitations, and potentiality of major techniques in the field such as X-ray crystallography, NMR, neutron crystallography, cryo-EM, mass spectrometry and other biophysical techniques, and computational structural biology
  • Includes detailed chapters on druggability, allostery, complementary use

    Trade Review
    "The book ... is a surprisingly comprehensive, monumental collection of chapters by a number of researchers in the field of drug discovery. ... [Editor Jean-Paul] Renaud was able to see the broad crucial aspects of the field and therefore able to invite excellent scientists to coauthor this book and cover so many aspects and in so much depth." -- Crystallography Reviews, March 2022
