Molecular Descriptors for Chemoinformatics, 2 Volume Set Volume I: Alphabetical Listing / Volume II: Appendices, References

The number-one reference on the topic now contains a wealth of new data: The entire relevant literature over the past six years has been painstakingly surveyed, resulting in hundreds of new descriptors being added to the list, and some 3,000 new references in the bibliography section. Volume 1 contains an alphabetical listing of more than 3300 descriptors and related terms for chemoinformatic analysis of chemical compound properties, while the second volume lists over 6,000 references selected from 450 journals. To make the data even more accessible, the introductory section has been completely re-written and now contains several "walk-through" reading lists of selected keywords for novice users.

Roberto Todeschini is Professor of Chemometrics at the Department of Environmental Sciences of the University of Milano-Bicocca (Milan, Italy). A chemistry graduate, he has more than thirty years experience in in chemometrics, QSAR and molecular descriptors. His main research interests are in chemoinformatics methods such as QSAR, molecular descriptors, and artificial neural networks. He is the author of the DRAGON software that allows for the calculation of more than 1600 theoretical molecular descriptors and has organized several Italian and International chemometric schools and schools about molecular descriptors. Prof. Todeschini is the current President of the Italian Chemometrics Society and a founding member of the International Academy of Mathematical Chemistry.
