This book updates knowledge on recent advances in computational,
biophysical and bioinformatics tools/techniques and their practical
applications in modern drug design and discovery paradigm. It also
encompasses fundamental principles, advanced methodologies and
applications of various CADD approaches including several
cutting-edge areas; presenting recent developments covering ongoing
trends in the field of computer-aided drug discovery. Having
contributions by a global team of experts, the book is expected to
be an ideal resource for drug discovery scientists, medicinal
chemists, pharmacologists, toxicologists, phytochemists,
biochemists, biologists, R&D personnel, researchers, students,
teachers and those working in the field of drug discovery. It will
fill the knowledge gaps that exist in the current CADD approaches
and methodologies/ protocols being widely used in both academic and
research practices. Further, a special focus on current status of
various computational drug design approaches (SBDD, LBDD, de novo
drug design, pharmacophore-based search), bioinformatics tools and
databases, computational screening and modeling of
phytochemicals/natural products, artificial intelligence and
machine learning, and network pharmacology and systems biology
would certainly guide researchers, students or readers to conduct
their research in the emerging area(s) of interest. It is also
expected to be highly beneficial to various stakeholders working in
the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries (R&D), the
academic as well as research sectors.
Food and agricultural by-products are leftovers or wastes from
parts of foods, fruits, vegetables and animal sources which are
obtained after processing. Agricultural by-products includes peels
and rinds from citrus fruits, pineapple, mango, and banana. Other
notable ones are pomace from apple, olive, red beet, and those from
wine making. Also, whey from milk, straws, hulls, and brans from
grains are among top agricultural by-products. These by-products
often impact the environment and the social-economic sectors when
they are disposed. But with the recent advances in biotechnology
and scientific research, scientists have found usefulness in some
of these byproducts as sources of valuable nutraceuticals, a term
used to refer to chemical entities present in foods that has the
propensity to impact health for disease prevention and treatment.
This book entitled ‘Food and agricultural by-products as
important source of valuable nutraceuticals’ presents detailed
information about major agricultural byproducts that are rich in
nutraceuticals. The nature and the type of nutraceuticals that they
contains and their health promoting benefits were presented. The
editors and chapter contributors are renowned experts from key
institutions around the globe. This book will be useful to
students, teachers, food chemists, nutritionists, nutritional
biochemists, food biotechnologists among others. Key
