Protein informatics is a newer name for an already existing discipline. It encompasses the techniques used in bioinformatics and molecular modeling that are related to proteins. While bioinformatics is mainly concerned with the collection organization and analysis of biological data molecular modeling is devoted to representation and manipulation of the structure of proteins. Protein informatics requires substantial prerequisites on computer science mathematics and molecular biology. The approach chosen here allows a direct and rapid grasp on the subject starting from basic knowledge of algorithm design calculus linear algebra and probability theory. An Introduction to Protein Informatics a professional monograph will provide the reader a comprehensive introduction to the field of protein informatics. The text emphasizes mathematical and computational methods to tackle the central problems of alignment phylogenetic reconstruction and prediction and sampling of protein structure. An Introduction to Protein Informatics is designed for a professional audience composed of researchers and practitioners within bioinformatics molecular modeling algorithm design optimization and pattern recognition. This book is also suitable as a graduate-level text for students in computer science mathematics and biomedicine. . Language: English
