Probing Bioactive Mechanisms

This is the first book of its kind to bring together the seemingly diversefields of medicinal chemistry, agrochemicals, and chemical toxicology with anexamination of their common mechanistic ground. This volume explores how avariety of statistical and computer modeling techniques can be used to designbiologically active mechanisms, elucidate the pertinent structure-activityrelationships, and define the characteristics of receptor and receptor-ligandinteractions. An introductory section focuses on historical perspectives, withsubsequent chapters providing broad coverage of agrochemical mechanisms, drugmechanisms, and toxicity mechanisms.Block, John H. is the author of 'Probing Bioactive Mechanisms' with ISBN 9780841217027 and ISBN 0841217025.
