Drug Discovery Research [PDF ebook] 
New Frontiers in the Post-Genomic Era

Post Genomics Drug Discovery and Research explores and discusses
some of the most important topics in post-genomics life and
biopharmaceutical sciences. It provides an introduction to the
field, outlining examples of many techniques currently used, as
well as those still under development, which are important for the
research of biopharmaceutical discovery in the post-genomics era.

* Integrates several developing and cutting-edge technologies and
methods like bioinformatics, experimental therapeutics, and
molecular recognition

* Includes discussion on topics such as: computer-aided ligand
design; peptide and protein chemistry and synthesis; synthesis of
active natural products; and the use of emerging technologies like
proteomics, nanotechnology, or bioengineering.
