Base-line model for identifying the bioaccumulation potential of chemicals.

abstract：:Molecular similarity methods have emerged as powerful tools in analog selection, chemical classification based on toxic modes of action, and property estimation. The basic assumption of structure-activity relationships (SAR) is that similar structures usually have similar properties. Therefore, similarity methods can ...
