Software-Entwicklung in der Chemie 1

"The new discipline of chemoinformatics covers the application of computer-assisted methods to chemical problems such as information storage and retrieval, the prediction of physical, chemical or biological properties of compounds, spectra simulation, structure elucidation, reaction modeling, synthesis planning and drug design. ... this four-volume Handbook contains in-depth contributions from top authors from around the world, with the content organized into chapters dealing with the representation of molecular structures and reactions, data types and databases/data sources, search methods, methods for data analysis as well as applications"--Back cover.

From Data to Knowledge

Handbook of Chemoinformatics

Thomas Engel

This first work to be devoted entirely to this increasingly important field, the "Textbook" provides both an in-depth and comprehensive overview of this exciting new area. Edited by Johann Gasteiger and Thomas Engel, the book provides an introduction to the representation of molecular structures and reactions, data types and databases/data sources, search methods, methods for data analysis as well as such applications as structure elucidation, reaction simulation, synthesis planning and drug design. A "hands-on" approach with step-by-step tutorials and detailed descriptions of software tools and Internet resources allows easy access for newcomers, advanced users and lecturers alike. For a more detailed presentation, users are referred to the "Handbook of Chemoinformatics", which will be published separately. Johann Gasteiger is the recipient of the 1991 Gmelin-Beilstein Medal of the German Chemical Society for Achievements in Computer Chemistry, and the Herman Skolnik Award of the Division of Chemical Information of the American Chemical Society (ACS) in 1997. Thomas Engel joined the research group headed by Johann Gasteiger at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg and is a specialist in chemoinformatics.

A Textbook

Chemoinformatics

Bringing together scientists from the various disciplines of chemistry who are actively engaged in developing software and using computers to solve their problems was the main objective of the 4th workshop 'Computers in Chemistry' (November 22-24, 1989) held in Hochfilzen, Tyrol. Fields covered include molecular modelling, chemometrics, synthesis planning, computer science.

Software Development in Chemistry 4

Edited by world-famous pioneers in chemoinformatics, this is a clearly structured and applications-oriented approach to the topic, providing up-to-date and focused information on the wide range of applications in this exciting field. The authors explain methods and software tools, such that the reader will not only learn the basics but also how to use the different software packages available. Experts describe applications in such different fields as structure-spectra correlations, virtual screening, prediction of active sites, library design, the prediction of the properties of chemicals, the development of new cosmetics products, quality control in food, the design of new materials with improved properties, toxicity modeling, assessment of the risk of chemicals, and the control of chemical processes. The book is aimed at advanced students as well as lectures but also at scientists that want to learn how chemoinformatics could assist them in solving their daily scientific tasks. Together with the corresponding textbook Chemoinformatics - Basic Concepts and Methods (ISBN 9783527331093) on the fundamentals of chemoinformatics readers will have a comprehensive overview of the field.

Achievements and Future Opportunities

Applied Chemoinformatics

The second edition of this highly regarded text has been substantially expanded. Part VI "Applications" is updated from 12 to 21 examples with a new focus on applications in the area of drug design. From reviews of the first edition: ?This book offers a sound introduction to artificial neuronal networks, with insights into their architecture, functioning, and applications, which is intended not only for chemists... The excellent quality of the contents and the presentation should ensure that it reaches a wide international readership.?(Angewandte Chemie) 'One of the most useful aspects of the book is a walk-through of the whole process for each application: experimental design, choice and organization of the data, selection of network architecture and parameters, and analysis of the results... The careful approach embodied in this book is an antidote to the hype which has attended neuronal networks in recent years.' (Journal of the American Chemical Society) '... highly recommended ... could become a scientific bestseller ...' (Spectroscopy Europe) 'The attractive and clear presentation of this book make it recommendable to the complete novice.' (The Analyst) 'We strongly recommend it for library purchase and it will be a useful text for lecture courses.' (Chemistry & Industry)
