Here is a unique book that enables you to use neural networks in molecular modeling. Not just another book about neural networks, Neural Networks in QSAR and Drug Design offers:
A clear and simple description of the main
neural network paradigms
Access to more than 10,000 bibliographical
references on neural networks
Actual case studies showing how supervised and
unsupervised neural networks can be used to
solve real-world structure-activity problems
in pharmacology, toxicology, agrochemistry,
and environmental chemistry
A wealth of practical hints to use neural
networks in QSAR and drug design
Information on the strengths and weaknesses
of neural networks in the discipline
A useful companion volume also published in the series Principles of QSAR and Drug Design:

James Devillers is currently a Professor in Ecology, Zoology, Ecotoxicology, and Phytopathology at an Agricultural School of Graduate Engineers (ISARA) in Lyon, France,since 1983. Devillers is also a Professor in Environmental Chemistry at a Chemical School of Graduate Engineers (ICPI), and a Senior Lecturer in QSAR and Ecotoxicology for the Centre of Environmental Sciences (Metz), Private Institutes, and the EEC. He is also the President of the Centre de Traitement de l'Information Scientifique, which is a private company specializing in QSAR studies, drug design, statistical analysis, and data validation. Devillers has published many articles, six books, and is a member of various societies and institutions including: The International QSAR Society, the European Group for the QSAR Studies, the International Neural Network Society, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the American Chemical Society (ACS), the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC), the Societe d'Ecotoxicologie Fondamentale et Appliquee (SEFA), and the Societe Linneenne de Lyon (SLL). He is Editor-in-Chief of two journals:
SAR and QSAR in Environmental Research (Gordon and Breach Science Publishers), and
Toxicology Modeling (Carfax Publishing Company); as well as a series of books called
Handbooks of Ecotoxicological Data (Gordon and Breach Science Publishers). Devillers is also a member of the editorial board of three journals, these are:
Ecological Modelling (Elsevier),
Xenobiotica (Taylor & Francis), and
Journal of Biological Systems (World Scientific).
