  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-009752",
  "term": "Quantitative structure-activity relationships",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "Mathematical models that correlate the structural or physicochemical properties of chemical compounds with their biological activities. These relationships are developed by analyzing a series of compounds and their measured activities, often using statistical methods. QSAR models are frequently employed in drug discovery to predict the activity of new compounds.",
