By: Material type: TextTextSeries: Woodhead Publishing series in biomedicine ; no. 81Publication details: Cambridge ; Waltham, MA : Woodhead Publishing / Elsevier, c.2016.Description: 275 p. : ill.

Contents:
PART I Rational Drug Design 1. Structure of the target is available 2. Structure of the target is unavailable 3. Virtual screening (VS) PART II Chemoinformatics 1. QSAR modeling 2. Processing HTS results 3. Delivering modeling results
Summary: This book is not going to be an exhaustive survey covering all aspects of rational drug design. Instead, it is going to provide critical know-how through real-world examples. Relevant case studies will be presented and analyzed to illustrate the following: how to optimize a lead compound whether one has high or low levels of structural information; how to derive hits from competitors' active compounds or from natural ligands of the targets; how to springboard from competitors' SAR knowledge in lead optimization; how to design a ligand to interfere with protein-protein interactions by correctly examining the PPI interface; how to circumvent IP blockage using data mining; how to construct and fully utilize a knowledge-based molecular descriptor system; how to build a reliable QSAR model by focusing on data quality and proper selection of molecular descriptors and statistical approaches. A Practical Guide to Rational Drug Design focuses on computational drug design, with only basic coverage of biology and chemistry issues, such as assay design, target validation and synthetic routes.
