Future Medicinal Chemistry, the international peer-reviewed monthly journal, has published a special issue dedicated to computational medicinal chemistry, featuring contributions from international academics and industry-based researchers. The issue, guest edited by leading expert, Prof Gisbert Schneider (ETH Zurich, Switzerland), includes perspectives on emerging technological developments, and strategies to support drug discovery and target identification.
The way new drugs are being found is changing, as are the opportunities provided by computer-assisted medicinal chemistry. Medicinal chemists are confronted with increasing amounts of data from biological, biochemical, and biophysical sources. Computational methods can help in the analysis of relevant data patterns and the extraction of important molecular features to make informed decisions. This special issue of Future Medicinal Chemistry presents cutting-edge computational tools and approaches for the identification and the design of next-generation drug candidates.
The issue includes editorials, reviews and original research reports. A full list of articles appearing in the issue can be accessed online at http://www.future-science.com/toc/fmc/6/3.
