Handbook of Chemoinformatics Algorithms

by Jean-Loup Faulon, Andreas Bender

Overview

Unlike in the related area of bioinformatics, few books currently exist that document the techniques, tools, and algorithms of chemoinformatics. Bringing together worldwide experts in the field, the Handbook of Chemoinformatics Algorithms provides an overview of the most common chemoinformatics algorithms in a single source.After a historical persp
