Walter, Gudrun

In addition, we thank Dr. Gudrun Walter of Whey-VCH, for encouraging us to embark on this project and Dr. Romy Kirsten for the smooth collaboration in processing our manuscripts. 

The series editors would like to thank Han van de Waterbeemd, Hans Lennernas, and Per Artursson for their enthusiasm to put together this book and to work with such a fine selection of authors. We also express our gratitude to Frank Weinreich and Gudrun Walter of Wiley-VCH for their valuable contributions to this project. 

The series editors would like to thank the authors and in particular the volume editors, Paolo Carloni and Frank Alber, that they devoted their precious time to compiling and structuring the comprehensive information on medicinal quantum chemistry. Last, but not least we want to express our gratitude to Frank Weinreich and Gudrun Walter from Wiley-VCH publishers for the fruitful collaboration.

I am very grateful to Peter Smith (UCL) and Fred Armitage (KCL) who read all of the text, and to Mike Lappert, David Cardin, and Gerry Lawless (University of Sussex), Dainis Daktemieks, Andrew Duthie, and Jens Beckmann (Deakin University), and Sarah Wilsey (ICL) who read selected chapters. Peter Smith, Fred Armitage, and Sarah Wilsey also helped to check the proofs. They did much to reduce the numbers of errors and omissions, and to improve the text, but I would appreciate any comments from readers on the book or on the database. My thanks are also due to Gudrun Walter (Wiley-VCH) who saw the book through to publication, and to my wife for all help non-chemical.

The series editors are grateful to Thomas Lengauer, who accepted the challenging task to organize this volume on bioinformatics, to convince authors to participate in the project and to finish their chapters in time, despite the fact that research runs hot these days. We are sure that the result of his coordinative work constitutes another highlight in our series on Methods and Principles in Medicinal Chemistry. In addition, we want to thank Gudrun Walter and Frank Weinreich, Wiley-VCH, for their effective collaboration. 

I am very grateful to Mrs. Ursula Sanzenbacher for her help during the editorial work, and to Dr. Gudrun Walter and Dr. Peter Golitz from Wiley-VCH for their continuous interest on this edition. 

Finally, I appreciate the efforts of Dr. Gudrun Walter, Wiley-VCH, with preparing this book. Rosemary Whitelock did a great job to improve the English. 

I would also like to thank the editors from the publisher Wiley-VCH with whom I have worked since 2008, Dr Esther Levy, Dr Gudrun Walter, Dr Bente Flier, and Dr Martin Graf-Utzmann for their professional assistance and strong support during this project.
