Suggested Reading:
- "Molecular Modeling: Principles and Applications,"
by Andrew R. Leach, Longman Press, 1996. Good for beginners.
- "Understanding Molecular Simulations: From Algorithms to
Applications," by Daan Frenkel and Berend Smit, Academic Press,
1996.
- "Computer Simulation of Liquids" by M. P. Allen and
D. J., Tildesley, Oxford University Press, 1987.
A classic in the field of simulation methods, though it does
not specifically deal with macromolecules.
- "Molecular Modeling and Simulation" by Tamar Schlick,
Springer, 2002.
Good for algorithmic issues.
- "Biological Sequence Analysis," by R. Durbin, S. Eddy, A. Krogh, G. Mitchison Cambridge University Press, 1998. A good
introduction to sequence alignment methods and bioinformatic
methods.
- "Introduction to Computational Biology," by M. S. Waterman, Chapman and Hall, 1995. A basic bioinformatic text.
