Structure-Based Drug Design brings together scientists working on
different aspects of the subject, demonstrating the necessary
collaboration and interdisciplinary approach to this complex area. The
focus is on X-ray crystallographic and computational approaches. The
general aspects of these approaches are introduced in the first six
articles. The remaining articles provide examples of the application of
X-ray crystallography, molecular modelling, molecular dynamics, QSAR,
database analysis, and homology modelling. The papers cover a wealth of
interesting problems in the design of new and enhanced pharmaceuticals.
