About this book series
The series covers all the stages of drug discovery and development that use computational approximations, including bioinformatics, cheminformatics, structure-based approximations, ligand-based approximations and network-approaches. Drug discovery and development stages include target identification and validation, hit identification and hit-to-lead and lead optimization programs.
• The series covers the early drug discovery and development process in a comprehensive manner.
• It explains both the historical background and underlying principles of each methodology, as well as state-of-the-art innovations within each field. For instance, when dealing with structure-based approximations, both classical universal scoring functions and the novel trend in the field (tailored scoring functions) will be considered.
• Accordingly, both experts and students taking their first steps in computer-guided drug discovery will find the series of interest. Students can resort to the series volumes to get familiarized with the basics of the methodologies, and experts can turn to the series for trends in the field.
• No other series covers all the fields and approximations in a deep,updated and comprehensive manner.
• For an integrative perspective, the potential readers might acquire all the books that compose the series; on the contrary, people with a narrower, more specific scope can resort to a particular volume of choice
