High-Throughput Screening in Drug Discovery, Volume 35

Backed by leading authorities, this is a professional guide to successful compound screening in pharmaceutical research and chemical biology, including the chemoinformatic tools needed for correct data evaluation. Chapter authors from leading pharmaceutical companies as well as from Harvard University discuss such factors as chemical genetics, binding, cell-based and biochemical assays, the efficient use of compound libraries and data mining using cell-based assay results. For both academics and professionals in the pharma and biotech industries working on small molecule screening.Content: Chapter 1 Chemical Genetics: Use of High?throughput Screening to Identify Small?molecule Modulators of Proteins Involved in Cellular Pathways with the Aim of Uncovering Protein Function (pages 1–13): Sa L.
