Modern Methods of Drug Discovery

This volume offers a broad and interdisciplinary view of modernapproaches to drug discovery as used by pharmaceutical companies andresearch institutes. It comprehensively covers proteomics,bioinformatics, screening techniques such as high-throughput-, naturalcompounds-, and NMR-based-screenings, combinatorial chemistry, compoundlibrary design, ligand- and structure-based drug design andpharmacokinetic approaches. Each of the thirteen chapters reviews thetheory, background and application of a key technology in drugdiscovery, complemented by an extensive list of references to theoriginal literature.This concise source of information will be useful for researchers, bothin industry and academia, as well as students in the fields ofmedicinal, pharmaceutical and computational chemistry, bioinformatics,biochemistry, molecular biology and pharmacology.Hillisch, Alexander is the author of 'Modern Methods of Drug Discovery' with ISBN 9783764360818 and ISBN 376436081X.
