Publisher's Synopsis
This book brings together many areas of study, which together are classed as molecular modelling, relevant to modern molecular biology. Many of these areas involve basic techniques, already covered in basic textbooks: the application of these techniques to the field of molecular biology is novel, and usually only covered in specialist journals or books based on scientific meetings covering only one week.;The book consists of 12 chapters, each covering specific techniques or applications to specific systems. Mathematical techniques are summarized, with references pointing towards more detailed texts. This is a highly topical area, relevant to molecular biology, reviewing ongoing research areas. The text should be beneficial to chemical and pharmaceutical companies which have installed large computers and computer graphics systems for research programmes in molecular modelling.
