Description
| General description | Observing computational chemistry's proven value to the introduction of new medicines, this reference offers the techniques most frequently utilized for ligand deisgn. This book examines molecular mechanics, semi-empirical methods, wave function-based quantum chemistry, density functional theory, 3-D structure generation, conformational analysis and hybrid methods. It views pharmacophore discovery and the use of 3D pharmacophore models in 3D database searching and studies vibrational circular dichroism spectroscopy for the stereochemical characterization of chiral molecules. |
