in this work the electrooxidation half-wave potentials of some benzoxazines were predicted from their structural molecular descriptors by using quantitative structure-property relationship (qsar) approaches. the dataset consist the half-wave potential of 40 benzoxazine derivatives which were obtained by dc-polarography. descriptors which were selected by stepwise multiple selection procedure ar...

The database PubChem was classified using 42 integer value descriptors of molecular structure, here called molecular quantum numbers (MQNs), which count atoms and bond types, polar groups, and topological features. Principal component analysis of the MQN data set shows that PubChem compounds occupy a partially filled elliptical cone in the (PC1,PC2,PC3) space whose axis is the first principal c...

We introduce several series of novel ZE-isomerism descriptors derived directly from two-dimensional molecular topology. These descriptors make use of a quantity named ZE-isomerism correction, which is added to the vertex degrees of atoms connected by double bonds in Z and E configurations. This approach is similar to the one described previously for topological chirality descriptors (Golbraikh,...

A recently published paper [T. Došlić, this journal 3 (2012) 25-34] considers the Zagreb indices of benzenoid systems, and points out their low discriminativity. We show that analogous results hold for a variety of vertex-degree-based molecular structure descriptors that are being studied in contemporary mathematical chemistry. We also show that these results are straightforwardly obtained by u...

There is an abundance of structural molecular descriptors of various forms that have been proposed and tested over the years. Very often different descriptors represent, more or less, the same aspects of molecular structures and, thus, they have diminished discriminating power for the identification of different structural features that might contribute to the molecular property, or activity of...

Quantitative structure-biodegradability relationships (QSBRs) were established to develop predictive models and mechanistic explanations for acid dyestuffs as well as biological activities. With a total of four descriptors, molecular weight (M(W)), energies of the highest occupied molecular orbital (E(HOMO)), the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (E(LUMO)), and the excited state (E(ES)), calc...

Density functional theory and Bader's atoms-in-molecules theory share the same primary ingredient: the electron density, which is the fundamental physical observable in quantum chemistry. In this paper, we elaborate on the decomposition of the Kohn-Sham molecular energy in terms of Bader's partition, discussing how Pendás' Interacting Quantum Atoms framework could be adapted to a DFT context. B...

BACKGROUND Molecular descriptors and fingerprints have been routinely used in QSAR/SAR analysis, virtual drug screening, compound search/ranking, drug ADME/T prediction and other drug discovery processes. Since the calculation of such quantitative representations of molecules may require substantial computational skills and efforts, several tools have been previously developed to make an attemp...
