Chemical Biology: From Small Molecules to Systems Biology and Drug Design, Volume 1-3

Edited by the world leaders in this emerging field, this three-volume handbook is designed to become the landmark reference on this exciting new branch of chemistry and biology. Following an introductory section, the authors discuss the use of small molecules to explore biology, discovering small molecule probes for biological mechanisms and expanding the scope of chemical synthesis. Further sections cover chemical informatics, drug discovery and systems biology, and the whole work is rounded off by the outlook and perspectives for this field. No academic institution or pharmaceutical company can possibly miss out on this highly authoritative work.
