Presents ways in which computers can be used to solve chemical problems. This book offers an approach that develops synoptic algebraic scaling laws to use in place of the case-by-case numerical integrations prescribed by traditional quantum chemistry. It s

High quality leads provide the foundation for the discovery of successful clinical development candidates, and therefore the identi?cation of leads is an essential part of drug discovery. The process for the identi?cation of leads generally starts with the screening of a compound collection, either an HTS of a relatively large compound collection (hundreds of thousands to one million plus compounds) or a more focused screen of a smaller set of compounds that have been preselected for the target of interest. Virtual screening methods such as structure-based or pharmacophore-based searches can...

The aim of this book is to return to the biomimicry and medicinal potential that inspired many of the early supramolecular chemists and to set it in the context of current advances in the field.

Following an overview of supramolecular chemistry, the first section considers the efforts made to synthesize artificial systems that mimic biological entities. The second section addresses the application of supramolecular principles to molecular diagnostics with a particular emphasis on the receptor-relayreporter motif. Many of the examples chosen have clinical importance. The third...

Computers have become an integral part of chemistry. Virtually all modern scientific instrumentation contains some form of computer and, indeed, the operation of many instruments has become so complex that it is impossible without some degree of computer control. It is vital for the modern student of chemistry to have at least a basic knowledge of computers, and the deeper that knowledge is, the better use will be made of the techniques available.
Computers in Chemistry provides an excellent overview of computers and their use in chemistry, giving the student an insight into both the...

Discovering new medicines is becoming more challenging and the pharmaceutical industry is looking to new technologies to help in this mission. Structure-based drug discovery methods have been transformed in the last 5-10 years and are now having a major impact on the discovery of new drugs. Some of the most exciting developments in the field, such as Fragment-based methods, are described in this book.

The book describes the latest developments in technologies that can be used to obtain the 3-D structures including the high profile structural genomics approaches being utilised...

An earlier book by Rodrick Wallace entitled Consciousness: A Mathematical Treatment of the Global Neuronal Workspace Model, introduced a formal information-theoretic approach to individual consciousness implementing approaches developed previously by the cognitive scientist Bernard Baars and the philosopher Fred Dretske.

This book takes a more formal 'groupoid' perspective and generalizes the results of that book to processes of 'distributed cognition' characteristic of large institutions that can entertain several, sometimes many, simultaneous 'global workspaces' which must compete...

This volume provides an overview of neurodegenerative diseases. Topics include the role histone deacetylases plays in neurodegenerative diseases, phosphodiesterase inhibition as a way to target synaptic dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease, and more.

The proceedings of a workshop which demonstrate how computational methods complement experimental approaches to chemistry. Topics discussed include an overview of quantum chemical calculations of small molecules and computer programs that apply to the dynamics of proteins and the IGLO method.

Supercomputer and Chemistry is the name of a series of seminars, which the Industrieanlagen-Betriebsgesellschaft (IABG), Ottobrunn near Munich, started in 1987. This third meeting stressed the fields of computational science, supercomputing and computer-aided chemistry. Moreover, he current situation in the supercomputer market as a whole, particularly in Germany, and the trends to be expected were discussed. The new generation of graphic workstations such as StARDENT have the power of minisupercomputers. Some performance results are pre sented and comparisons with other machines are made....

The first book to comprehensively cover the use of light and photosensitising agents for controlling the population of microbial pathogens.

Ion Channels and Their Inhibitors covers recent advances in the structure and functions of ion channels and their inhibitors. Topics include sodium Ion, potassium Ion, chloride Ion, calcium Ion channel inhibitors.
