 | | Rev., 96, >1045, [1996]) As your new equations are being derived through the regression portion of C-QSAR, they can be compared with those already present in the databank. |
 | | Some parameters--such as hydrophobicity (log P), molar refractivity (and its excess over an alkane of equal size), and molar volume--are calculated for automatic loading into the regression program, while others can be automatically loaded from an extensive database of >electronic and steric substituent constants. |
 | | C-QSAR makes it easier to winnow out irrelevant parameters in a biological activity study, and to compare the coefficients (i.e., the relative importance) of those remaining to those in well-established physical chemical processes. |
