Rezensionen

"The authors of the articles in the book are the top specialists in their fields and the book presents the current state of the art for the broad spectrum of all currently used methods and techniques of macromolecular modeling. The book might be very useful for all readers interested in the computational modeling of macromolecules. Several articles in the book cover different aspects of protein modeling, so I would highly recommend this book to all readers interested in modeling of proteins." -- POLYMER NEWS, REVIEW BY ANDRZEJ KLOCZKOWSKI, BAKER CENTER FOR BIOINFORMATICS AND BIOLOGICAL STATISTICS, IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY
