Chemoinformatics For Drug Discovery

The first guide to address the strengths, weaknesses, case studies, and applications of cheminformatics approaches to drug discovery, Chemoinformatics addresses how these in silico techniques are applied in both academic and industrial research environments. Discussing approaches that have been successful as well as those that have not, the text outlines cheminformatics infrastructure tools and their implementation and describes the impact of different approaches on experimental or pharmaceutical research. A valuable resource for computational, medicinal/pharmaceutical scientists, chemical biologists, and computational biologists, the text includes case studies and applications by experimental and industrial researchers.
