London: Humana Press, 2015. — 351 с. — ISBN: 978-1-4939-2284-0
Series: Methods in Molecular Biology, № 1268Computational peptidology is a newly emerging subfi eld that focuses on the use of computational, theoretical, and bioinformatic approaches to treat peptide-related problems. In Computational Peptidology: Methods and Protocols, expert researchers in relevant fields detail in silico methods and techniques widely used to study peptides. These include methodologies covering the database, molecular docking, dynamics simulation, data mining, and de novo design and structure modeling of peptides and protein fragments. Chapters also include the integration and application of these technologies to analyze, model, identify, predict, and design a wide variety of bioactive peptides and peptide drugs as well as peptide-
based biomaterials. Written in the successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary methods and tools, step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols, and notes on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
