Publisher's Synopsis
The constant progress in computing techniques and supercomputers is now enhanced by very rapid advances in molecular graphics, which gives a fresh impetus to molecular modelling. The regular and fast expansion of knowledge is manifest in both applied and theoretical fields and in all aspects of chemistry. These proceedings present a complete assessment of the most recent advances in modelling of molecular structures and properties and supplies a rich sampling of the present resources of molecular modelling in practically all domains of chemistry and biophysics. A large number of reviews by eminent specialists are included, complete with a wealth of fresh results stemming from advances in molecular graphics and computational techniques. A number of surveys deal with the main biophysical improvements or breakthroughs, e.g. molecular dynamics as applied to biomolecular properties, modelling, simulation of protein structures and properties, and protein-DNA interactions.
