Computer-aided drug design and in silico screening have contributed to the discovery of several compounds that have either reached the market or entered clinical trials. In silico Lead Discovery is a compilation of the efforts of several experts on bioinf
Volume 1 of Computational Approaches in Bioengineering—Computational Approaches in Biotechnology and Bioinformatics—explores many significant topics of biomedical engineering and bioinformatics in an easily understandable format. It explores recent developments and applications in bioinformatics, biomechanics, artificial intelligence (AI), signal processing, wearable sensors, biomaterials, cell biology, synthetic biology, biostatistics, prosthetics, big data, and algorithms. From applications of biomaterials in advanced drug delivery systems to the role of big data, AI, and machine learning in disease diagnosis and treatment, the book will help readers understand how these technologies a...
This book guides medicinal chemists in how to implement early ADMET testing in their workflow in order to improve both the speed and efficiency of their efforts. Although many pharmaceutical companies have dedicated groups directly interfacing with drug discovery, the scientific principles and strategies are practiced in a variety of different ways. This book answers the need to regularize the drug discovery interface; it defines and reviews the field of ADME for medicinal chemists. In addition, the scientific principles and the tools utilized by ADME scientists in a discovery setting, as applied to medicinal chemistry and structure modification to improve drug-like properties of drug candidates, are examined.
Drug discovery is all about finding small molecules that interact in a desired way with larger molecules, namely proteins and other macromolecules in the human body. If the three-dimensional structures of both the small and large molecule are known, their interaction can be tested by computer simulation with a reasonable degree of accuracy. Alternatively, if active ligands are already available, molecular similarity searches can be used to find new molecules. This virtual screening can even be applied to compounds that have yet to be synthesized, as opposed to "real" screening that requires cost- and labor-intensive laboratory testing with previously synthesized drug compounds. Unique in its...
This book provides a reference guide in the field of dermatology, presenting and discussing its interface with public health. Dermatological diseases are extremely common in populations around the globe, and the systematization of knowledge about these dermatoses and their relationships with different epidemiological factors may help us to understand the challenges that governments and private institutions face and must try to overcome in order to improve global health. Undergraduate and graduate students, dermatologists and general practitioners who study and / or work in the area will find scientific support in this book, which is intended as a reference work for dermatological practice an...
The Overview of the Topic was the following: "One of the most active areas of research in molecular microbiology has been the study of how bacteria modulate their genetic activity and its consequences. The prokaryotic world has gained a lot of interest. In addition to the above, the invention is based on the subject-matter of the present invention, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. All of these processes are fundamental to the operation of a genetic entity and condition their lifestyle. Further, the discoveries in the bacterial world have been of ample use in eukaryotes. [Article in German] Hansen, Hansen, H. (2003). In addition to the fundamental interest in underst...
Reflection on the history and practice of art history has long been a major topic of research and scholarship, and this volume builds on this tradition by offering a critical survey of many of the major developments in the contemporary discipline, such as the impact of digital technologies, the rise of visual studies or new initiatives in conservation theory and practice. Alongside these methodological issues this book addresses the mostly neglected question of the impact of national contexts on the development of the discipline. Taking a wide range of case studies, this book examines the impact of the specific national political, institutional and ideological demands on the practice of art history. The result is an account that both draws out common features and also highlights the differences and the plurality of practices that together constitute art history as a discipline.
It is a pleasure to introduce this new book, Clinical and Pathological Aspects of Skin Diseases in Endocrine, Metabolic, Nutritional, and Deposition Disease, edited by two of my friends and respected colleagues, Franco Rongioletti and Bruce R. Smoller. In fact, I was very ent- siastic when I learned that they were preparing this work. Although endocrine, metabolic, w, and deposition diseases are regularly included in general textbooks of dermatology and d- matopathology, one gains the general impression that these topics receive little emphasis and are mainly included for completeness. The prospect of having all of this information in one volume, lovingly described and detailed by experts in...
This book gathers selected papers from the First International Symposium on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine. Issues related to medicine and health care constitute one of the grand challenges faces by the mankind, and this naturally implies a growing interest in these problems among both researchers and scholars, politicians and policymakers, as well as economist. The present values which gather selected papers from the First International Symposium on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (BioInfoMed’2020) is a recent response to this interests. In the subsequent sections and chapters, it covers a multitude of various topics related to bioinformatics, biomedicine, bioenginering, as well as a broadly perceives healthcare. Issues related to decision making in bioinformatics, biomedicine and health care, mathematical modelling in biomedicine and health care, artificial intelligence in biomedicine and health care, uncertainty and imprecision, notably intuitionistic fuzzy sets with applications in bioinformatics and biomedicine, biomedical approaches and applications, biomedical imaging and image processing, and excitable structures and motor activity are covered.
