title: Structural basis of the in vivo induction of micronuclei.
abstract: The structural basis of the in vivo induction of micronuclei was examined with CASE, a structure-activity relational method. The CASE program identified a number of structures associated with this activity. When used to predict the activity of chemicals not included in the learning set, these structural determinants gave a concordance in excess of 83%. The existence of a structural basis for the induction of micronuclei will permit an investigation of the mechanistic basis of this phenomenon.
