Riassunto

A breakthrough guide employing knowledge that unites cheminformatics and bioinformatics as innovation for the future

Bridging the gap between cheminformatics and bioinformatics for the first time, Computational Approaches in Cheminformatics and Bioinformatics provides insight on how to blend these two sciences for progressive research benefits. It describes the development and evolution of these fields, how chemical information may be used for biological relations and vice versa, the implications of these new connections, and foreseeable developments in the future.

Using algorithms and domains as workflow tools, this revolutionary text drives bioinformaticians to consider chemical structure, and similarly, encourages cheminformaticians to consider large biological systems such as protein targets and networks.

Computational Approaches in Cheminformatics and Bioinformatics covers:

• Data sources available for modelling and prediction purposes

• Developments of conventional Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationships (QSAR)

• Computational tools for manipulating chemical and biological data

• Novel ways of probing the interactions between small molecules and proteins

Also including insight from public (NIH), academic, and industrial sources (Novartis, Pfizer), this book offers expert knowledge to aid scientists through industry and academic study. The invaluable applications for drug discovery, cellular and molecular biology, enzymology, and metabolism make Computational Approaches in Cheminformatics and Bioinformatics the essential guidebook for evolving drug discovery research and alleviating the issue of chemical control and manipulation of various systems.

Informazioni sull?autore

RAJARSHI GUHA, PhD, is a Research Scientist at the NIH Center for Translational Therapeutics in Rockville, Maryland. His research covers a variety of topics in cheminformatics and chemical data mining, addressing software and methodology development as well as applications in areas such as high throughput screening and high content imaging of small molecules and siRNA's. Prior to working at the NIH, he was a visiting assistant professor in the School of Informatics and Computing, Indiana University.

ANDREAS BENDER, PhD, is a Lecturer for Molecular Informatics with the Unilever Centre for Molecular Science Informatics at the University of Cambridge. His research encompasses ways to integrate—and analyze—chemical, biological, and phenotypic data, with the aim to design molecular structures with a desired property profile. Andreas Bender received his PhD from the University of Cambridge and worked for the Novartis Institutes for Biomedical Research in Cambridge, Massachusetts before returning to his current position in academia.
