Molecular Modeling Basic Principles and Applications

Written by experienced experts in molecular modeling, this book describes the basics to the extent that is necessary to reliably judge the results from molecular modeling calculations. Without unnecessary overhead it leads the reader from simple calculations on small molecules to the modeling of proteins and other relevant biomolecules. The beginner is guided through the first modeling experiment, and the routine user of modeling software provided with invaluable troubleshooting hints. A unique resource for students, researchers and lecturers, now available in all-new and enlarged edition. "If currently popular 'Dummies' series of computer books were to publish a volume on molecular modeling this would be it" (Journal of the American Chemical Society) "This book is well written and assumes no prior knowledge of molecular biology, statistical mechanics, or quantum chemistry. The authors provide practical hints for the application of the majority of available programs in computational chemistry" (Computers in Physics)Höltje, Hans-Dieter is the author of 'Molecular Modeling Basic Principles and Applications', published 2003 under ISBN 9783527305896 and ISBN 3527305890.
