Molecular Modeling : Basic Principles and Applications

Ideal for beginners, this book explains the basics of modeling in a competent yet easily understandable way.Following complete sections on the modeling of small molecules, protein modeling and chemogenomics, completely worked-out examples show the way to the reader's first modeling experiment. This new, third edition features a new chapter on chemogenomics, reflecting the trend towards 'chemical biology', as well as the protein modeling example being completely rewritten for a better 'feel' of modeling complex biomolecules. The authors are experienced university teachers who regularly hold courses on molecular modeling, making this a tried-and-tested text for teachers.It is equally valuable for experts, since it is the only book to evaluate the strengths and limitations of the molecular modeling techniques and software currently available.
