TAYLOR & FRANCIS The Ups And Downs In Drug Design Adventures In Medicinal Chemistry (Pb 2022) by MARQUEZ V. E.
Describes 'real life' examples in Medicinal Chemistry. Integrates the use of physical, chemical, and biological concepts that are important in drug design. Highlights the "ips" and "downs" that come with drug discovery. Aims to inspire students who may be struggling with the challenges and thought process in drug design. Intends to be an excellent companion text, illustrating real life experiences, for graduate and postgraduate students. 1. STRUCTURE-ACTIVITY RELATIONSHIPS (SAR). 2.
