Biochemoinformatics : Integrating Bioinformatics and Chemoinformatics for Drug Discovery and Development

A unique characteristic of the post-genome drug discovery and development process is the accessibility of a wide range of highly parallel and high-throughput experimental tools that are generating huge amounts of diverse data, including sequence data, chemical structure information, biological activity patterns and global expression profiles in mRNA, protein and other molecular levels. Integrating and making sense of biological data with chemical information poses a unique challenge to the scientific community.
