In-silico Approaches to Macromolecular Chemistry

In Silico Approaches to Macromolecular Chemistry helps students, researchers and industry professionals gain a clear overview of the field, giving users the knowledge needed to understand and select the most appropriate tools for conducting and analyzing computational studies. With applications across a broad range of areas, many different methods have been developed for exploring macromolecules in silico, making it difficult for researchers to select the most appropriate for their specific needs. Covering both biopolymers and synthetic polymers, this book familiarizes readers with the theoretical tools and software appropriate for such studies.

In addition to providing essential background knowledge on both computational tools and macromolecules, the book presents in-depth studies of in silico macromolecule chemistry, discusses and compares these with experimental studies, and highlights the future potential for such approaches.
