CAMD or Computer Aided Molecular Design refers to the design of molecules with desirable properties. That is, through CAMD, one determines molecules that match a specified set of (target) properties. CAMD as a technique has a very large potential as in principle, all kinds of chemical, bio-chemical and material products can be designed through this technique.

This book mainly deals with macroscopic properties and therefore does not cover molecular design of large, complex chemicals such as drugs. While books have been written on computer aided molecular design relating to drugs and large complex chemicals, a book on systematic formulation of CAMD problems and solutions, with emphasis on theory and practice, which helps one to learn, understand and apply the technique is currently unavailable.

· This title brings together the theoretical aspects related to Computer Aided Molecular Design, the different techniques that have been developed and the different applications that have been reported.
· Contributing authors are among the leading researchers and users of CAMD
· First book available giving a systematic formulation of CAMD problems and solutions

Summary: The wonderful and deep thought of Luke Achiene
Rating: 5

I found Mr. Acnenie's text to be very interesting and thought provoking. It's the way Mr. Acnenie has unique ways of covering
Computer Molecular Design, that if a person doesn't comprehend a specific part of the text;there is always other explanations in its simplicity to back his theories up with. I srongly reccomend the vast majority of free thinkers, who would want to absorb the knowledge Mr. Achiene is offering, than you shoul purchase this book on Amazon. One of the best information texts I have ever read!
