What Methods are Used for Toxicological Predictions?
Several methods are employed in toxicological predictions, including:
Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR): This method uses statistical models to predict the toxicity of chemical compounds based on their molecular structure. In Silico Modeling: Computational simulations that predict the interaction of chemicals with biological systems. High-Throughput Screening (HTS): Automated testing methods that quickly evaluate the toxicity of a large number of compounds. Omics Technologies: Techniques like genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics that provide comprehensive data about the biological impact of chemicals.
