Designing safer chemicals: predicting the rates of metabolism of halogenated alkanes.

abstract：:Estrogen signaling occurs through at least two distinct molecular pathways: (i) direct binding of liganded estrogen receptors (ERs) to estrogen-responsive DNA elements (EREs) (the "ER/ERE pathway") and (ii) indirect recruitment of liganded ERs to activating protein-1 (AP-1)-responsive DNA elements via heterodimers of ...
