1. Edition - March 2009 91.90 Euro 2009. 308 Pages, Hardcover - Practical Approach Book - ISBN-10: 0-470-12685-X ISBN-13: 978-0-470-12685-1 - John Wiley & Sons
Short description There has been a great surge in the usage of computational drug design techniques over the past 20 years. Filling the need for an easily understood, nonmathematical text on drug design, Computational Drug Design explores the wide range of computational techniques available for the drug design process, and puts them in the framework of the drug design process. This valuable learning source provides students, computational chemists, organic, medicinal and pharmaceutical chemists, and biochemists with a solid perspective on the entire breadth of the field.
