I am looking for a database with the biodegradability of organic
compounds (for a SAR project). Can you give me some hints?

Thank you,

Dear Netters,
I should be very grateful for some information about articels connected
with simulations of micelle structures.

Hello

I am looking for QSAR datasets for which either or both classical 
QSAR / 3D-QSAR (eg CoMFA) do not provide good correlations
with biological activity (QSAR) or a property (QSPR). The purpose
of this is to test the effectiveness of an ALIGNMENT-FREE QSAR method
known as EVA. EVA is based upon fundamental IR-range frequencies and
has proved to be an extremely effective means of developing models 
that are both internally and externally predictive. So far I have had 
NO failures with EVA when applied to 14 or so randomly selected CoMFA
datasets.

I am also looking for QSAR-size datasets with odour/smell related 
data (QSOR), again particularly where other descriptors/methods  have failed
to provide adequate models. There has been some publicity recently 
regarding a theory put forward by Luca Turin - "A spectroscopic 
mechanism for primary olfactory reception." EVA seems  ideally suited
to testing this theory.

Thanks

Hi everybody,
I would appreciate any help in getting some references or review articles on 
the mechanism of acid-base catalysis brought about by various enzymes. I 
shall post the summary of responses for those interested in the same. 
Thank you very mych for your time and attention.
Sangeeta
