Structural toxicology employs various methods to study the relationship between chemical structure and toxicity:
Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR): This method uses statistical models to correlate chemical structures with their biological activities. Molecular Docking: This technique predicts how a chemical will bind to a target protein, helping to understand its potential toxic effects. Computational Toxicology: This involves using computer-based models to simulate the interactions between chemicals and biological systems.
