title: Building a common feature hypothesis for thymidylate synthase inhibition.
abstract: A set of 21 highly flexible competitive inhibitors of thymidylate synthase (TS; EC 2.1.1.45) covering a wide activity range (IC50 = 6 nM-100 microM) has been investigated by three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR). CATALYST was used to generate three-dimensional hypotheses to study the common interaction features among a set of thymidylate synthase inhibitor. The verification of the hypothesis was achieved by using the molecules outside the training set.
