... the book presents a number of topics in structural bioinformatics, aiming to emphasize the beauty of the area as well as some of the main problems. It targets advanced undergraduate students and hence the description of more complicated algorithms is avoided. It nevertheless provides an interesting introduction to the area.

Shows how to apply key algorithms to solve problems related to macromolecular structure. This title helps students go further in their study of structural biology. It solves the longest common subsequence problem using dynamic programming and explains the science models for the Nussinov and MFOLD algorithms. Read more...
