Back cover:

QSAR and Molecular Modeling includes all the fundamentals of these approaches developed so far. Starting with the fundamentals of drug-receptor interactions, it covers various statistical approaches, different 2D QSAR methodologies, theories and values of useful variables governing biological activities, and popular 3D molecular modeling approaches.

Written in a step-wise manner so it is accessible to students, academics, and researchers at all levels this book draws to together a multidisciplinary view of QSAR and molecular odeling.
