    Abstract: Quantitative Structure Toxicity Relationship (QSTR) study was applied to a dataset of 35 polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) to investigate the relationship between toxicities of the compounds and their structures by employing Density Functional Theory (DFT) (B3LYP/6-31G*) method to compute their quantum molecular descriptors. The model was built... Show More
