Synopsis

Although emerging only since the 1980s, structure-based drug design has already become a powerful tool for commercial drug design. Much has been learned, however, since the first attempts to develop drugs on the basis of available biochemical and structural data. This volume, besides presenting the underlying principles and foundations of the approach, describes real-life applications. It shows that structure-based drug design, if employed properly and with a thorough knowledge of the pitfalls to avoid, is superior to the traditional approach of designing new drugs and can thus save large amounts of time and money. The presentation and many references to the original literature, as well as numerous colour figures illustrating structural relationships, should make this volume a tool for scientists working in the area of drug design.
