Chemoinformatics: Theory, Practice & Products is an essential handbook for determining the right Chemoinformatics method or technology to use. There has been an explosion of new Chemoinformatics tools and techniques. Each technique has its own utility, scope, and limitations, as well as meeting resistance to use by experimentalists. The purpose of Chemoinformatics: Theory, Practice & Products is to provide computational scientists, medicinal chemists and biologists with unique practical information and the underlying theories relating to modern Chemoinformatics and related drug discovery informatics technologies.

The book also provides a summary of currently available, state-of-the-art, commercial Chemoinformatics products, with a specific focus on databases, toolkits, and modelling technologies designed for drug discovery. It will be broadly useful as a reference text for experimentalists wishing to rapidly navigate the expanding field, as well asthe more expert computational scientists wishing to stay up to date.

Industry Reviews

From the reviews:

"This book covers 'the theory, commercially available packages and applications of Chemoinformatics' ... . It was designed to be a practical handbook for computational scientists, medicinal chemists, and biologists to help them find the right technology for their purpose." (Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol. 129 (32), 2007)
