The first edition of "Structural Bioinformatics" was the first
major effort to show the application of the principles and basic
knowledge of the larger field of bioinformatics to questions
focusing on macromolecular structure, such as the prediction of
protein structure and how proteins carry out cellular functions, as
well as show how the application of bioinformatics to these life
science issues can improve health care by accelerating drug
discovery and development. Designed primarily as a reference, the
first edition nevertheless saw widespread use as a textbook in
graduate and undergraduate university courses dealing with the
theories and associated algorithms, resources, and tools used in
the analysis, prediction, and theoretical underpinnings of DNA,
RNA, and proteins.
This new edition now contains not only thorough updates of the
advances in structural bioinformatics since publication of the
first edition, but also features eleven new chapters dealing with
frontier areas with high scientific impact.
"Structural Bioinformatics, Second Edition" is essential reading
for graduate and advanced undergraduate students in bioinformatics
and advanced biology, for molecular biologists, biochemists and
biophysicists interested in supplementing their training on the
job. It is also of interest for computer and information
scientists, including computational biologists.
Praise for the first edition:
""This book is a gold mine of fundamental and practical
information in an area not previously well represented in book
form."" Biochemistry and Molecular Education
,,"." destined to become a classic reference work for workers at
all levels in structuralbioinformatics....recommended with great
enthusiasm for educators, researchers, and graduate students.""
BAMBED
,,"."a useful and timely summary of a rapidly expanding field.""
Nature Structural Biology
,,"."a terrific job in this timely creation of a compilation of
articles that appropriately addresses this issue."" Briefings in
