Molecular modeling has undergone a remarkable transformation in the last 20 years. This book provides thorough introductions and a compilation of step-by-step methods applicable to problems faced by non-specialists especially those new to the software packages used in molecular modeling. Tips on troubleshooting and avoiding common pitfalls are included in the book, along with chapters covering a wide range of subjects. Links to downloadable software are also provided."

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Symposium on Computer Science in Russia, CSR 2006. The 35 revised full theory papers and 29 revised application papers together with 3 invited talks address all major areas in computer science are addressed. The theory track deals with algorithms, protocols, data structures and more. The application part comprises programming and languages; computer architecture and hardware design among many more topics.

Bioinformatics involve the creation and advancement of algorithms using techniques including computational intelligence, applied mathematics and statistics, informatics, and biochemistry to solve biological problems usually on the molecular level. Major research efforts in the field include sequence analysis, gene finding, genome annotation, protein structure alignment analysis and prediction, prediction of gene expression, protein-protein docking/interactions, and the modeling of evolution.
