商品描述

This book presents the fundamental principles, contemporary methodologies, and practical applications that define modern computer-aided drug design. It explores the integration of Cryo-EM structures, AlphaFold predictions, and homology modeling to expand structural insight into biologically relevant targets. In addition, it covers molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, enhanced sampling approaches, and free-energy calculations for robust hit-to-lead refinement. This book further examines in silico Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion, and Toxicity (ADMET) prediction, quantitative structure-activity relationships, machine learning-based modeling, and network pharmacology frameworks applied across therapeutic areas, including oncology, infectious diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, and metabolic and cardiovascular conditions.

Key Features:

  • Explores foundational and advanced Computer-Aided Drug Design (CADD) techniques, including molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, in silico ADMET prediction, and network pharmacology
  • Integrates Cryo-EM, AlphaFold, and homology modeling to enhance structure-based drug discovery
  • Details machine learning applications for pharmacokinetic profiling, toxicity prediction, and lead prioritization
  • Discusses computational workflows for multi-target drug design across major therapeutic domains
  • Presents systems biology perspectives and translational case examples linking computational discovery to experimental validation

This book is intended for researchers and students in pharmaceutical sciences, computational biology, bioinformatics, and related disciplines.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書介紹定義現代電腦輔助藥物設計(Computer-Aided Drug Design, CADD)的基本原理、當代方法與實務應用。本書探討整合冷凍電子顯微鏡(Cryo-EM)結構、AlphaFold 預測結果與同源建模(homology modeling),以拓展對具生物學意義標的的結構理解。此外,本書涵蓋分子對接(molecular docking)、分子動力學模擬(molecular dynamics simulations)、增強取樣方法(enhanced sampling approaches)與自由能計算(free-energy calculations),以進行穩健的先導化合物優化(hit-to-lead refinement)。本書進一步探討電腦模擬吸收、分布、代謝、排泄與毒性(Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion, and Toxicity, ADMET)預測、定量構效關係(quantitative structure-activity relationships)、以機器學習為基礎的建模,以及應用於各種治療領域的網絡藥理學(network pharmacology)架構,包括腫瘤學、感染性疾病、神經退化性疾病,以及代謝性與心血管疾病。
