ELEMENTARY PHARMACOINFORMATICS PB

About the Book Pharmacoinformatics is an informatics based discipline, concerned with the information, design, discovery and development of drugs using high performance computing and graphic tools. This material covers principles and applications of health informatics, cheminformatics and bioinformatics. It comprehensively covers the current advances and in silico strategies used in drug information and drug design. Each of 29 chapters reviews the concepts of pharmacy automation, mechanistic drug design and bioinformatics. The book avoids the use of high level descriptions to convert the subject interesting. This concise source of information will be of immense benefit to the learning community of pharmacy, bio-technology, biomedical engineering and other interdisciplinary fields. Distinct features of this book · Explanations for the entry level student are the important feature of this material · Neat and self explanatory diagrams are incorporated wherever possible to bring user-friendly material · Four major parts with 29 chapters proceeds in very systematic and with lucid language · Each chapter is provided with practical application part, which ensures the better understanding · Comprehensive overview on in silico methods of drug information and drug design · Emphasis on molecular level approach of drug design strategies · The application section of this material provides opportunity to have hands-on-experience Contents 1.
