Short Description
This is the latest installment in the respected Reviews in Computational Chemistry series, which explores emerging topics in computer-aided molecular research. In this volume, invited experts review molecular modeling, computer-assisted molecular design (CAMD), quantum chemistry, molecular mechanics and dynamics, and quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR). Topics are presented in an easy-to-understand tutorial style, geared to individuals in chemistry, medicine, biotechnology, materials science, and physics who need to access computational methods outside their immediate area of expertise.
THIS BOOK HAS SIX TUTORIALS AND REVIEWS WRITTEN BY INVITED EXPERTS. FIVE CHAPTERS TEACH TOPICS IN QUANTUM MECHANICS AND MOLECULAR SIMULATIONS. THE SIXTH CHAPTER EXPLAINS HOW PROGRAMS FOR CHEMICAL STRUCTURE DRAWING WORK. AN EDITORIAL DISCUSSES SOME OF THE MOST WELL-KNOWN PERSONAGES IN COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY.
