Divided into five major parts, the two volumes of this ready reference cover the
tailoring of theoretical methods for biochemical computations, as well as the
many kinds of biomolecules, reaction and transition state elucidation,
conformational flexibility determination, and drug design. Throughout, the
chapters gradually build up from introductory level to comprehensive reviews of
the latest research, and include all important compound classes, such as DNA,
RNA, enzymes, vitamins, and heterocyclic compounds.
The result is in-depth and vital knowledge for both readers already working in
the field as well as those entering it. Includes contributions by Prof. Ada
Yonath (Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2009) and Prof. Jerome Karle (Nobel
