• Sommario/riassunto: A select group of scientists from around the world join in this volume to create unique chapters aimed at both the novice molecular modeler and the expert computational chemist. Chapter 1 shows how molecular modeling of peptidomimetics plays a key role in drug discovery. Specific examples of successful computer-aided drug design are spelled out. Chapter 2 is a definitive exposition on thermodynamic perturbation and thermodynamic integration approaches in molecular dynamics simulations. Three additional chapters elucidate molecular modeling of carbohydrates, the best empirical force fields to u
