Reviews in Computational Chemistry, Volume 7

This is the seventh volume in the successful series designed to help the chemistry community keep current with the many new developments in computational techniques. The writing style is refreshingly pedagogical and non-mathematical, allowing students and researchers access to computational methods outside their immediate area of expertise. Each invited author approaches a topic with the aim of helping the reader understand the material, solve problems, and locate key references quickly.Kurz nach dem sechsten Band erscheint bereits der siebte Band der erfolgreichen Reihe 'Reviews in Computational Chemistry', was deutlich macht, wie schnell die Entwicklungen auf dem Gebiet der 'Computer in der Chemie' vorangehen. Der gute Stil und die klare Sprache garantieren auch bei diesem Band, daß die Artikel gerade für Nicht-Spezialisten verständlich werden. From the Contents:
Similarity Searching in Databases of Chemical Structures/Three-Dimensional Structure Database Searches/
Methods and Applications of Combined Quantum Mechanical and Molecular Mechanical Potentials/
An Introduction to Density Functional Theory/
Density Functional Methods in Biomolecular Modeling/
The A Priori Calculation of Vibrational Circular Dichroism Intensities. Aus dem Inhalt:
