Praise for the previous edition: "This book is a gold mine of fundamental and practical information . . . destined to become a classic reference work . . . recommended with great enthusiasm for educators, researchers, and graduate students." ?Biochemistry and Molecular Education Structural Bioinformatics was the first major effort to show the application of the principles and basic knowledge of the larger field of bioinformatics to questions focusing on macromolecular structure, such as the prediction of protein structure and how proteins carry out cellular functions, and how the application of bioinformatics to these life science issues can improve healthcare by accelerating drug discovery and development. Designed primarily as a reference, the first edition nevertheless saw widespread use as a textbook in graduate and undergraduate university courses dealing with the theories and associated algorithms, resources, and tools used in the analysis, prediction, and...
