"The book focuses on a vital area of biophysical research that has been—in the author’s view—substantively overlooked if not relegated, an area from within many of the needed breakthroughs are likely to sprout: the physics of biomolecular interfaces. The book advocates its paramount relevance to tackle some of the core problems in molecular biophysics in a unified systematic manner. To this effect, the book introduces powerful theoretical and computational resources and is set to inspire scientists at any level in their careers determined to address the major challenges in the field."

"The medical benefits of a drug are not only dependent on its biological effect, but also on its "life cycle" within the organism, from its absorption into the blood, distribution to tissue until its eventual breakdown or excretion by the liver and kidneys.Here, the authors, all of them employed at Pfizer in the discovery and development of new active substances, discuss the significant parameters and processes important for the absorption, distribution and retention of drug compounds in the body, plus the potential problems created by their transformation into toxic byproducts. The authors cover everything from the fundamental principles right up to the latest developments using high throughput methods to analyze the pharmacokinetic properties of active substances.Particular emphasis is placed on the impact of pharmacokinetic parameters on the discovery of new drugs, one of the most challenging tasks in global pharmaceutical research."

"Following a discussion of the mind body issue and the issue of localization of function, the basic functional units of the brain will be discussed, including the arousal systems, sensory perceptual or attentional systems, and the motor or inten- tional systems. This will be followed by discussion of functional neural systems theory. This will be followed by a discussion of the basic brain syndromes common to left sided or right sided brain pathology leading up to a brief account of neuro- psychopathology for the clinician and clinical neuroscientist. The final sections of the book provide for specific topics on probable differences in specialization of each brain. Some of these topics evolve directly from our laboratory research find- ings and those of former students in the Behavioral Neuroscience Laboratory who each have contributed significantly to our literatures on cerebral lateralization of functions."

"There are books that talk about drug design tools, algorithms, and math- ematical functions, and books that give some results showing that one compound worked better than another for inhibiting a particular enzyme. However, these books spend surprisingly little time discussing the process that the chemist goes through to actually design a new drug molecule. This book is oriented around the way that computational techniques are utilized in the drug design process."

"The four parts of this book largely follow the curriculum for biochemistry training of undergraduate medical and science students. The parts on protein structure and enzymology can be covered at the beginning of the course, the special proteins and membrane transport at the end, once molecular biology has been studied."

"Liposom adalah teknologi pengiriman obat untuk meningkatkan kemanjuran dan keamanan obat. Liposom adalah vesikel amphiphilic yang memiliki bagian kutub dan non-kutub. Ini memungkinkan liposom untuk membawa obat-obatan hidrofilik dan hidrofobik. Kafein adalah zat psikoaktif yang disebut xanthine alkaloid yang memiliki sifat penetrasi kulit yang buruk. Ini karena kafein memiliki sifat hidrofilik. Jadi untuk meningkatkan konsentrasi kafein di lapisan kulit yang lebih dalam, diperlukan vesikel seperti liposom. Proses pembuatan liposom konvensional membutuhkan waktu lama, rumit dan dapat menghasilkan racun dari residu pelarut organik yang digunakan. Simulasi dinamika molekul dapat mengatasi keterbatasan pembuatan liposom konvensional dengan memvisualisasikan ikatan molekul dan menganalisis sifat-sifat liposom berdasarkan interaksi antar ikatan. Molekul kafein akan dikombinasikan dengan molekul kolesterol dan fosfolipid DPPC (1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine). Simulasi dinamika molekul dilakukan pada Kafein dan liposom dengan komposisi Kolesterol - DPPC (1: 1; 1: 2; 1: 4) yang dipanaskan oleh 323 K dalam kotak virtual 100 Å dan diproduksi pada 125 ns. Sistem akan diproses menggunakan kuning. Visualisasi menghasilkan ikatan antar molekul untuk membentuk koleksi padat, ikatan tidak sempurna antar molekul dalam bentuk bola berlubang. Ini karena keterbatasan komputer dan kebutuhan untuk pelarut yang cocok. Sedangkan hasil analisis yang diperoleh dari ketiga liposom di atas stabil pada 323 K dan Kolesterol-DPPC (1: 4) memiliki ikatan paling padat dan volume terkecil adalah 44,7 Å X 43,4 Å X 58,8 Å (X, Y, Z). Energi potensial dari ketiga liposom akan berkurang yang menunjukkan keseimbangan energi di semua liposom.

Liposomes are a drug delivery technology to improve the efficacy and safety of drugs. Liposomes are amphiphilic vesicles that have polar and non-polar sections. This allows the liposome to carry hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs. Caffeine is a psychoactive substance called xanthine alkaloid which has poor skin penetration properties. This is because caffeine has hydrophilic properties. So to increase the concentration of caffeine in the deeper layers of the skin, vesicles such as liposomes are needed. The process of making conventional liposomes takes a long time, is complicated and can produce toxins from the residues of organic solvents used. Molecular dynamics simulations can overcome the limitations of making conventional liposomes by visualizing molecular bonds and analyzing the properties of liposomes based on interactions between bonds. Caffeine molecules will be combined with cholesterol molecules and DPPC phospholipids (1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine). Molecular dynamics simulations were carried out on Caffeine and liposomes with Cholesterol-DPPC composition (1: 1; 1: 2; 1: 4) heated by 323 K in a 100 Å virtual box and produced at 125 ns. The system will be processed using yellow. Visualization produces bonds between molecules to form solid collections, imperfect bonds between molecules in the shape of a hollow ball. This is due to computer limitations and the need for suitable solvents. While the analysis results obtained from the three liposomes above are stable at 323 K and Cholesterol - DPPC (1: 4) has the densest bond and the smallest volume is 44.7 Å X 43.4 Å X 58.8 Å (X, Y, Z). The potential energy of all three liposomes will decrease which shows the energy balance in all liposomes."
