This third edition volume expands on the previous editions with new topics that cover drug discovery through translational bioinformatics, informatics, clinical research informatics, as well as clinical informatics. The chapters discuss new methods to study target identification, genome analysis, cheminformatics, protein analysis, and text mining. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials, software workflows, reagents and on-line resources, together with step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory and computational protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.Cutting-edge and thorough, Bioinformatics and Drug Discovery, Third Edition is a valuable resource for anyone interested in drug design, including academicians (biologists, informaticists and data scientists, chemists, and biochemists), clinicians, and pharmaceutical scientists.

This handbook provides the first-ever inside view of today''s integrated approach to rational drug design. Chemoinformatics experts from large pharmaceutical companies, as well as from chemoinformatics service providers and from academia demonstrate what can be achieved today by harnessing the power of computational methods for the drug discovery process. With the user rather than the developer of chemoinformatics software in mind, this book describes the successful application of computational tools to real-life problems and presents solution strategies to commonly encountered problems. It shows how almost every step of the drug discovery pipeline can be optimized and accelerated by using chemoinformatics tools -- from the management of compound databases to targeted combinatorial synthesis, virtual screening and efficient hit-to-lead transition. An invaluable resource for drug developers and medicinal chemists in academia and industry.
