Structural Bioinformatics Tools for Drug Design

Extraction of Biologically Relevant Information from Structural Databases

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The book describes the individual steps necessary for biomacromolecular fragments analysis, as well as a list of essential software tools. For each step, it also shows corresponding web-based tools in detail and provides practical examples of their use.

All tools and databases mentioned in the examples are available free of charge, platform-independent, web-based, user-friendly and do not require a prior IT background to be fully used.
