    • English
    Robust Theoretical Models in Medicinal Chemistry: QSAR, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning serves as a valuable resource chock full of applications extending into multiple knowledge domains. The meticulous construction of a robust model holds significance, not only in drug discovery but also in engineering, chemistry, pharmaceutical, and food-related research, illustrating the broad spectrum of fields where QSAR methodologies can be instrumental. The activities considered in QSAR span chemical measurements and biological assays, making this approach a versatile tool applicable across various scientific domains. Currently, QSAR finds extensive use in diverse disciplines, prominently in drug design and environmental risk assessment.Quantitat... Structure-Activity Relationships (QSAR) represent a concerted effort to establish correlations between structural or property descriptors of compounds and their respective activities. These physicochemical descriptors encompass a wide array of parameters, accounting for hydrophobicity, topology, electronic properties, and steric effects, and can be determined empirically or, more recently, through advanced computational methods.

  • Lattice Dynamics of Molecular Crystals and Weak Chemical Interactions

    Investigation using Raman Spectroscopy Methods
    • 1st Edition
    • Boris Kolesov
    • English
    Weak chemical interactions (van der Vaals, halogen and hydrogen bonding) establish the structure of molecular crystals. Even if the nature of van der Vaals interaction is now well understood and described, then the essence of halogen and hydrogen bonds is still debated. Understanding their nature is crucial for the design and synthesis of organic, pharmaceutical and biological systems, as well as for predicting the main physicochemical properties of synthesized objects.Lattice Dynamics of Molecular Crystals and Weak Chemical Interactions: Investigation using Raman Spectroscopy Methods shows how to fully exploit the capabilities of Raman spectroscopy in the study of weak chemical interactions in molecular crystals. It presents the concept of weak chemical interactions based on experimental study of a wide class of molecular crystals. Information on the temperature dependence of the parameters of vibrational modes makes it possible to obtain information on the potential of intermolecular interaction, the degree of its anharmonicity, the orientational mobility of molecules in a crystal, structural phase transitions, and the behaviour of a proton on a hydrogen bond.Lattice Dynamics of Molecular Crystals and Weak Chemical Interactions: Investigation using Raman Spectroscopy Methods is written primarily for physical and organic chemists as well scientists and engineers involved in crystal engineering and the synthesis and design of any molecular crystals and crystalline structures containing weak chemical interactions. It will also be of use to anyone investigating lattice dynamics probed by Raman spectroscopy, including a diverse range of chemists and physicists or those whose interests lie in the fields of biological or pharmaceutic systems.
