Springer Optimization in Computational Chemistry and Biology Book

Explore advanced developments in optimization techniques with this academic text from Springer. This book focuses on addressing complex problems in computational chemistry and biology through both local and global approaches. It provides a systematic framework for conformational searches, which is a key part of predicting three-dimensional protein structures. By studying how proteins fold to reach their global minimum free energy, readers gain insights into a field that connects chemistry, biology, medicine, engineering, and applied mathematics. This volume is part of the Nonconvex Optimization and Its Applications series, specifically volume 40. It is an essential resource for researchers and students looking to understand low-energy biomolecular configurations and the mathematical methods used to find them.
