Ricardo Macarrón, Robert P. Hertzberg (auth.), William P. Janzen (eds.)9780896038899, 9781592591800, 0896038890

In High Throughput Screening, leading scientists and researchers expert in molecular discovery explain the diverse technologies and key techniques used in HTS and demonstrate how they can be applied generically. Writing to create precisely the introductory guidebook they wish had been available when they started in HTS, these expert seasoned authors illuminate the HTS process with richly detailed tutorials on the biological techniques involved, the management of compound libraries, and the automation and engineering approaches needed. Extensive discussions provide readers with all those key elements of pharmacology, molecular biology, enzymology, and biochemistry that will ensure the identification of suitable targets and screens, and detail the technology necessary to mine millions of data points for meaningful knowledge.
