Chemical library technologies have brought about dramatic changes in the drug discovery process
and though still evolving they have become an integral part of ongoing drug discovery
research. In Chemical Library Design experts in the field provide methods and detailed
protocols delving into this key process of selecting useful biologically relevant compounds
from large pools of synthesizable candidates. This compendium includes chapters on historical
overviews state-of-the-art methodologies including structure-based and fragment-based library
design practical software tools and successful and important applications of chemical library
design. As a volume in the popular Methods in Molecular Biology(TM) series the thorough
contributions provide the kind of meticulous description and implementation advice that is
crucial for getting optimal results. Authoritative and cutting-edge Chemical Library Design is
an ideal reference for all scientists seeking the technology needed to aid in the search for
new and vital drugs.
