This book covers the spectrum of drug design methods with the emphasis on the practical advantages as well as limitations of computer aided drug design (CADD) in industrial research. Topics discussed include: the integration of CADD in the overall research process; the benefits and pitfalls of the approach; the factors that affect the outcome and how to judge the performance of CADD. The principal needs and developments of CADD methods in the future are debated by an international group of experts practising CADD in an industrial enviroment.
