Wiley Computational Molecular Science

Easy access to information on all aspects of molecular computationsOrder the six-volume set today and benefit from the special introductory price – full details belowComputational Molecular Science is the successor of the highly acclaimed Encyclopedia of Computational Chemistry, which was published by Wiley in 1998, and is the ultimate resource on all aspects of computational chemistry and its applications in chemistry, biology and materials science.Capturing the interdisciplinary flavour of the field, authors address key topics from differing perspectives such as chemistry, biology and materials science.In order to make the material accessible to students, practitioners and researchers alike the content is presented at different depths and levels in a range of article types:Overviews provide broad and non-technical treatment of important topics at an accessible levelKey areas of research in the style of leading review journals are presented in Advanced Reviews for researchers and advanced studentsFocus Articles present short, technical contributions describing specific real-world issues, e.g. implementations etc.Software Reviews feature specific software packages of high utility in the field, with an emphasis on their capabilities and implementation rather than methodologyOpinions present individual perspectives from thought leaders in the fieldA special focus has been placed on computations and modeling of relevant biomolecules which are essential to new developments in medicinal chemistry.Covering all areas relevant to the understanding of computational molecular methods the content is structured in the following sections:Computer and Information Science includes a wide range of techniques and applications used in cheminformatics, such as artificial intelligence, patent information, semantic web, data mining, automated synthesis design, etc.Electronic Structure Theory covers computations of molecules based on ab initio quantum molecular methods and density functional theorySimulation Methods includes free energy methods, molecular dynamics, Monte-Carlo methods and molecular mechanicsSoftware describes examples of commercial and shareware software packages for molecular computations and modelingStructure and Mechanism concentrates on applications in the areas of computational biochemistry and biophysics, computational materials science, molecular structures and dynamics, and reaction mechanismsTheoretical and Physical Chemistry includes reaction dynamics, kinetics and spectroscopyExperience the scope of content in Computational Molecular Science for yourself with a selection of free articles available to download now:Predictions of protein–RNA interactionsCheminformatics and the Semantic Web: adding value with linked data and enhanced provenanceDensity functional theory in materials scienceMetadynamicsNoncovalent interactions in biochemistryAll chapters included in Computational Molecular Science have also been published online in WIREs Computational Molecular Science between January 2011 and June 2014.WIREs Computational Molecular ScienceWiley Interdisciplinary Reviews, or short WIREs, combine the best possible features of major online reference works (didactic structure, high visibility, fast searches, and electronic accessibility) with the completeness, rigor, and overall high quality of review journals.WIREs Computational Molecular Science uses all the advantages of the WIREs concept and is the logical online successor of the highly acclaimed Encyclopedia of Computational Chemistry. As a review journal WIREs Computational Molecular Science includes all the material published in the book edition and will continue to publish much more material in the future, establishing itself as THE REVIEW JOURNAL in the field of computational chemistry and biology, offering the following advantages:An impact factor of 5.783 according to 2012 ISI Journal Citation Reports with the following Ranking: 1/47 (Mathemat
