Virtual Screening: Principles, Challenges, and Practical Guidelines

"Although mediocre quality and inconsistency of some of the figures and chemical structure drawings curbed my enthusiasm, I emphatically recommend this book to anyone who is avid of learning (more) about the current and future "state-of-the-science" in virtual screening." (Molecular Informatics, 2011)

"The book is well suited both for all practitioners in medicinal chemistry and for graduate students who want to learn how to apply virtual screening methodology." (International Journal Bioautomation, 2011)

"All scientists interested in the field will have an interest in reading it, whether for the bibliographic contents,
examples cited or principles broached. Students will find out "how to do it", whatever their intent is, which will
make this volume a useful handbook. No need to be an expert in the field or a computer specialist to give it a try." (ChemMedChem, 2011)

"This comprehensive and up-to-date review of the basic concepts and tools for virtual screening applications in drug discovery is part of the Methods and Principles in Medicinal Chemistry series, which has been a crucial source of information for medicinal chemists from both academia and pharmaceutical companies since 1993." (Doody's, 30 September 2011)

"Virtual Screening is a comprehensive and up-to-date overview, this is both a desktop reference and practical guide for virtual screening applications in drug discovery". (Laboratory Journal, 18 January 2011)
