Bioinformatics: Principles and Applications
is a comprehensive text designed to cater to the needs of undergraduate and postgraduate students of biotechnology and bioinformatics. This book will also cater to the requirements of students pursuing short-term diploma as also DOEACC courses in bioinformatics.
Beginning with the aim and scope of bioinformatics, the book discusses in detail the essentials of the subject, such as bio-algorithms, bio-databases, molecular viewers, gene annotation methods, molecular phylogeny, and bio-molecular simulations. It further discusses the applications of bioinformatics in protein modeling and computer-aided drug design. The book also presents a discussion on molecular docking, including guidelines for using AutoDock software. The usage of select bioinformatics commercial software modules is also discussed.
Written in a lucid style and user-friendly manner, the book with its wide and up to date coverage will be useful to students as well as practising professionals.
Presents a detailed discussion on in silico drug designing and other bio-algorithms such as BLAST and FASTA
Discusses applicative and advanced topics such as protein modelling, docking, molecular dynamics, biochemical network, and molecular phylogeny
Discusses commercial bioinformatics software modules such as Insight II and GCG
Provides a multiple choice question bank at the end of the book to test the understanding of students
Includes appendices giving a select list of bio-companies in India, biodatabases with their websites, and a glimpse of the emerging research areas in the subject
Undergraduate and Postgraduate students of biotechnology and bioinformatics
