The volume concludes with a survey of recent successes and failures and describes outlooks for the future.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Papers from a September 1997 symposium reflect a broad spectrum of current topics in rational drug design. Contributors come from diverse work environments where research in rational drug design takes place, including the pharmaceutical industry, software development industry, and academia. Early chapters overview rational drug design and provide an explanation for many topics that occur in later chapters. Later chapters discuss more detailed aspects of energetics and solvation, describe applications of drug design methods, detail new methods for QSAR and combinatorial chemistry, and review evolutionary algorithms in drug design. For computational chemists and researchers in rational drug or materials design. The editors are associated with the University of Memphis and Metabasis Therapeutics, Inc."--SciTech Book News
