 QSAR IN THE BRAVE NEW WORLD OF STRUCTURAL BIOLOGY, GENOMICS, COMBICHEM AND HTS
 Fall ACS meeting in Boston (August 18-22, 2002)
 Sponsored by the Division of Computers in Chemistry (COMP)
 The scope of QSAR includes analysis of all aspects of quantitative molecular
 design.  At the "front end" of drug or pesticide design, for example,
 structure/property relationships (SPRs) are being elucidated for pharmaco-
 kinetic properties, and predictions that a compound will have ADME or
 toxicological problems will stop some compounds from being made at all.  At
 the other extreme is the growing use of combinatorial approaches and
 experimental design to optimize process chemistry.  In between lie analyses
 of high-throughput screening (HTS) data and "classical" lead
 optimization.
 In other areas of inquiry - e.g., odorant or taste characterization or pest
 deterrence or target druggability - QSARs may serve to either generate
 hypotheses
 or to test existing hypotheses generated from earlier analyses.
 We are organizing a multi-session symposium for the 18-22 August 2002 American
 Cheimcal Society meeting in Boston.  Selected papers will be considered for
 inclusion in a Perspectives in Drug Discovery and Design ('PD3') issue of
 J Comput-Aided Mol Design. If you would like to present a paper on some aspect
 of QSAR, QSPR, or a related area of chemometrics, please use the OASYS system:
   http://oasys.acs.org/acs/224nm/comp/papers/index.cgi
 to submit your abstract directly.  The deadline for submission is 1 April 2002.
 NB: This is the same symposium as that described in an earlier call for papers
 under the title "QSAR FROM CRADLE TO GRAVE".  We apologize for any
 confusion the
 change in title may cause.
