Fundamental QSARs for Metal Ions describes the basic and essential applications of quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs) for regulatory or industrial scientists who need to predict metal ion bioactivity. It includes 194 QSARs that have been used to predict metal ion toxicity and 86 QSARs that have been used to predict metal ion bioc
Focusing on the field of metal ion bioactivity in Quantitative Structure Activity Relationships (QSAR), this book concentrates on the basic and essential applications of QSAR methods in metal ions for readers familiar with the field and statistics. It delineates the theoretical basis and provides a concrete introduction to studying the biological activity and toxicity of metal ions as they impact health and the environment. The book describes the applications of QSARs in characterizing the biological activity and toxicity of metal ions and provides parameters for the correlation of structure with inorganic biological activity.
