Handbook of Chemoinformatics From Data to Knowledge

Everything chemists and other scientists need to know about this developing field ? from data to knowledge. The Handbook of Chemoinformatics is the first reference work to be exclusively devoted to this exciting new area, and will set the standard as the premier information source for the next decade.The new discipline of chemoinformatics covers the application of computer-assisted methods to chemical problems such as information storage and retrieval, the prediction of physical, chemical or biological properties of compounds, spectra simulation, structure elucidation, reaction modeling, synthesis planning and drug design.Edited by Johann Gasteiger, the four-volume Handbook contains in-depth contributions from top authors from around the world, with the content organized into chapters dealing with the representation of molecular structures and reactions, data types and databases/data sources, search methods, methods for data analysis as well as applications.In addition, an accompanying textbook for students (Chemoinformatics ? A Textbook edited by J. Gasteiger, T. Engel) will be available, published separately but with cross-reference to this set.Gasteiger, Johann is the author of 'Handbook of Chemoinformatics From Data to Knowledge' with ISBN 9783527306800 and ISBN 3527306803.
