From Molecules to Medicines Structure of Biological Macromolecules and Its Relevance in Combating New Diseases and Bioterrorism /

The synergism played by crystallography and drug discovery is the central focus of this volume which comprises papers presented at the 40th Erice Course held from 28 May to 8 June 2008. A key theme throughout the book is the dependence of modern structural science on multiple experimental and comput...
