"QSAR and Molecular Modeling" includes all the fundamentals of these approaches developed so far. Starting with the fundamentals of drug-receptor interactions, it covers various statistical approaches, different 2D QSAR methodologies, theories and values of useful variables governing biological activities, and popular 3D molecular modeling approaches. The book comprehensively covers these topics in one text.

The author has 30 years experience of working in this field and has written several reviews on the topics in various reputed periodicals like Chemical Reviews, Progress in Drug Research, Current Medicinal Chemistry etc.
