Overview

Here is a unique book that enables you to use neural networks in molecular modeling. Not just another book about neural networks, Neural Networks in QSAR and Drug Design offers:

A clear and simple description of the main
neural network paradigms

Access to more than 10,000 bibliographical
references on neural networks

Actual case studies showing how supervised and
unsupervised neural networks can be used to
solve real-world structure-activity problems
in pharmacology, toxicology, agrochemistry,
and environmental chemistry

A wealth of practical hints to use neural
networks in QSAR and drug design

Information on the strengths and weaknesses
of neural networks in the discipline

A useful companion volume also published in the series Principles of QSAR and Drug Design:

GENETIC ALGORITHMS IN MOLECULAR MODELING
