✦ Synopsis

This book is intended for a broad readership and is concerned with the discovery and use of more than one hundred of the most important molecules used in medicine. It covers chemical, biological, research and medical aspects. It limits itself to centamolecules having molecular weights in the hundreds not thousands. Each medicine described is given normally one page. Chemists having a reasonable interest and curiosity about the wider aspects of the subject will enjoy reading and possessing this book. Helpfully the protein structures given are in the public domain and may be downloaded.

The work is intended for a ''broad readership'' defined by the authors as including college graduates and researchers in science and medicine. The level of the work is very suitable for such a readership. The authors also aspire that the work will be useful to the ''educated lay person'' and as such it also provides an
