Recommended book

I have recently read "Molecular Modeling: Basic Principles and Applications". It gives a very good introduction for Structural Bioinformatics and also some bits of information for Molecular Simulation. It is a small, light and clearly written book.

[ Wiley | Amazon ]

The new chapter "Chemogenomic Approaches to Rational Drug Design" has been added to the third edition (I have actually read the second one).

Table of contents:

1. Introduction.
2. Small Molecules.
3. A Case Study for Small Molecule Modeling: Dopamine D3 Receptor Antagonists.
4. Introduction to Comparative Protein Modeling.
5. Virtual Screening and Docking.
6. Scope and Limits of Molecular Docking.
7. Chemogenomic Approaches to Rational Drug Design.
8. A Case Study for Protein Modeling: the Nuclear Hormone Receptor CAR as an example for Comparative Modeling and the Analysis of Protein-Ligand Complexes.
