Structure-Based Drug Design: Thermodynamics, Modeling and Strategy - Hardcover

 
9783540632504: Structure-Based Drug Design: Thermodynamics, Modeling and Strategy

Synopsis

This is a discussion of the properties that follow from the principles of thermodynamics, aiming to bridge the gap in showing applications of model molecules in modern drug design. The book connects two subjects: drug design - a biological science - and thermodynamics - a physical science. Armed with the knowledge of the three-dimensional structure of a potential binding site of a molecule, the method of structure-based design provides a rapid, rational route to a ligand molecule. Recent developments in the determination of structure and the measurement of thermodynamic parameters of binding have resulted in drawing theoretical and experimental data together to improve ability to model these interactions afresh. The book also outlines future developments in the field of structure-based ligand design.
