Ebook: Bioinformatics: a primer

About the Book: Bioinformatics is the bridge between experimental data in diverse biologically related disciplines and extrapolation of information, by computational analysis, about how the systems and processes function. The central aims are: (i) elucidation (by experimental methods) of structural features of the biological entities (proteins, nucleic acids, etc.), (ii) application of computational tools and approaches to study of information content, organization, and processing in biological systems, (iii) application of medical and health data at the molecular level (biomedinformatics), a.;Cover; Preface; Acknowledgement; Contents; Chapter 1 Bioinformatics: Introduction; Chapter 2 Atoms and Molecules; Chapter 3 Features of Nucleic Acids; Chapter 4 Features of Proteins; Chapter 5 Physicochemical Characterization of Biomolecules; Chapter 6 Primary Structure (Sequence) Determination of Biomolecules; Chapter 7 Spatial Structure Determination of Biomolecules; Chapter 8 Protein-Ligand Interactions; Chapter 9 The Protein-folding Problem; Chapter 10.
