A Handbook of Computer Aided Drug Design

The cardinal object of this handbook is to cater as a text-cum-reference book for the undergraduate, graduate and research students specialising in medicinal chemistry. Copious information has been dealt with regard to computer aided drug design. This book provides a new dimension to drug discovery which will certainly boost the spirit of the readers. Each chapter has been treated in a classical manner. It starts with a brief introduction about QSAR followed by strategies of drug design and its recent advances. The most vital aspect of this book is drug discovery employing bioinformatics tools. It is hoped that this book would certainly help to bridge the existing gaps and enable the reader to understand CADD in a much lucid manner independently.
