Relating Anaerobic Digestion Microbial Community and Process Function [PDF]
Anaerobic digestion (AD) involves a consortium of microorganisms that convert substrates into biogas containing methane for renewable energy. The technology has suffered from the perception of being periodically unstable due to limited understanding of ...

Quantitative structure-activity relationships for biodegradation
Quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs) between biodegradation rates of organic compounds and chemical structure parameters are reviewed. Although a number of such relationships have been developed, they in general only apply to restricted ranges of compounds, limiting their value as predictors of biodegradation rates.

The use of a quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) model to predict GABA-A receptor binding of newly emerging benzodiazepines [PDF]
The illicit market for new psychoactive substances is forever expanding. Benzodiazepines and their derivatives are one of a number of groups of these substances and thus far their number has grown year upon year.

Quantitative Structure–Activity Relationship Modeling of Kinase Selectivity Profiles
The discovery of selective inhibitors of biological target proteins is the primary goal of many drug discovery campaigns. However, this goal has proven elusive, especially for inhibitors targeting the well-conserved orthosteric adenosine triphosphate ...

Partitioning and lipophilicity in quantitative structure-activity relationships. [PDF]
The history of the relationship of biological activity to partition coefficient and related properties is briefly reviewed. The dominance of partition coefficient in quantitation of structure-activity relationships is emphasized, although the importance of other factors is also demonstrated.
