About Molecular Modeling And Simulation: An
Product Description Very broad overview of the field intended for an interdisciplinary audience; Lively discussion of current challenges written in a colloquial style; Author is a rising star in this discipline; Suitably accessible for beginners and suitably rigorous for experts; Features extensive four-color illustrations; Appendices featuring homework assignments and reading lists complement the material in the main text Review From the reviews: HAROLD A. SCHERAGA, CORNELL UNIVERSITY "The interdisciplinary structural biology community has waited long for a book of this kind which provides an excellent introduction to molecular modeling." J. ANDREW McCAMMON, HOWARD HUGHES MEDICAL INSTITUTE, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA AT SAN DIEGO "A uniquely valuable introduction to the modeling of biomolecular structure and dynamics. A rigorous and up-to-date treatment of the foundations, enlivened by engaging anecdotes and historical notes." J.J. COLLINS, BOSTON UNIVERSITY "I am often asked by physicists, mathematicians and engineers to recommend a book that would be useful to get them started in computational molecular biology. I am also often approached by my colleagues in computational biology to recommend a solid textbook for a graduate course in the area. Tamar Schlick has written the book that I will be recommending to both groups. Tamar has done an amazing job in writing a book that is both suitably accessible for beginners, and suitably rigorous for experts." BIOINFORMATICS "It is a fantastic graduate textbook to get into structural biology. The 14 chapters offer keys to understand the broader context of this field and the impact it can have on our everyday life for example through medical applications…The main achievement of the book is that even the most sophisticated problems are part of a gradual approach…certainly efficient…The book will obviously be of great interest to students and teachers but it should also be very valuable for research scientists, especially newcomers to the field of molecular modeling, as a reference book and a point of entry in the more specialized literature." BIOTECH INTERNATIONAL [BTI]: " . . . The text emphasises that the field is changing very rapidly and that it is full of exciting discoveries. Many of these findings have lead to medical and technological breakthroughs. This book stimulates this excitement, while still providing students many computational details . . . It should appeal to beginning graduate students in medical schools, and in many scientific departments such as biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, and computer science. MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS Review by Henry van den Bedem, University of Alabama-Birmingham "The book is unique in that it combines introductory molecular biology with advanced topics in modern simulation algorithms in no more than 600 pages. … For those seeking more detail, the author provides 1000+ references, and additionally includes reading lists complementing the main text. This is an excellent introductory text that is a pleasure to read." ZENTRALBLATT MATH Review by Ivan Krivy, University of Ostrava, Czech Republic "This book provides an excellent introduction to the modeling of biomolecular structures and dynamics. It is subdivided into three parts covering relatively broad topics: (1) molecular structure and modeling, inclusive of current problems and state of computation (Chapters 1-6); (2) molecular mechanics: force field origin, composition, and evaluation techniques (Chapters 7-9); and (3) simulation techniques: conformational sampling by geometry optimization, Monte Carlo, and molecular dynamics approaches (Chapter 10-13). The last chapter (Chapter 14) is devoted to discussing the similarity and diversity problems in chemical design. The book's appendices complement the material in the main text through homework assignments, reading lists, and other information useful for teaching molecular modeling.\par The book is intended for students of an
