Reviews in Computational Chemistry, Reviews in Computational Chemistry, Volume 18 (Reviews in Computational Chemistry)

The Reviews in Computational Chemistry series brings together leading authorities in the field. The chapters in this book series are written to teach the newcomer and update the expert. Topics include computational chemistry, molecular modeling, computer-assisted molecular design (CAMD), quantum chemistry, molecular mechanics and dynamics, and quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR). Detailed author and subject indices on each volume help the reader to quickly discover particular topics.The chapters are approached in a tutorial manner and written in a non-mathematical style allowing students and researchers to access computational methods outside their immediate area of expertise. Computational chemistry is increasingly used in most areas of molecular science including organic, inorganic, medicinal, biological, physical, and analytical chemistry. Researchers in these fields who do molecular modelling need to understand and stay current with recent developments. This volume, like those prior to it, features chapters by experts in various fields of computational chemistry. Two chapters focus on molecular docking, one of which relates to drug discovery and cheminformatics and the other to proteomics. In addition, this volume contains tutorials on spin-orbit coupling and ce Computational chemistry is increasingly used in conjunction with organic, inorganic, medicinal, biological, physical, and analytical chemistry, biotechnology, materials science, and chemical physics. This series is essential in keeping those individuals involved in these fields abreast of developments in computational chemistry. This volume, like those prior to it, features chapters by experts in various fields of computational chemistry. Topics covered in Volume 18 include molecular modeling, computer-assisted molecular design (camd), quantum chemistry, molecular mechanics and dynamics, and quantitative structure-activity relationships (qsar).
