- Synopsis
- This detailed volume examines computer-aided drug discovery(CADD), a crucial component of modern drug discovery programs that is widelyutilized to identity and optimize bioactive compounds for the development ofnew drugs. With a focus on the methods that are commonly used in the earlystage of drug discovery, chapters explore computer simulation, structureprediction, conformational sampling, binding site mapping, docking and scoring,in silico screening, and fragment-based drug design. In addition to the state-of-the-arttheoretical concept, this book also includes step-by-step, readily reproduciblecomputational protocols as well as examples of various CADD strategies. The limitations and potential pitfalls ofdifferent computational methods are discussed by experts, and tips and advicefor their applications are suggested. Practical and thorough, Computer-AidedDrug Discovery serves as an ideal addition to the Methods in Pharmacology and Toxicology series, guiding researcherstoward their lab's goals with this exciting and versatile technology.
