  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-006302",
  "term": "Kappa shape descriptor",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A topological index used in cheminformatics to quantify molecular shape and branching. It is derived from the connectivity of atoms within a molecule, reflecting the degree of branching and cyclicity. These descriptors are employed in quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) studies to correlate molecular structure with biological activity.",
