title: Three-dimensional molecular descriptors and a novel QSAR method.
abstract: A novel set of molecular descriptors suitable for use in quantitative structure-activity relationships and related methods is described. These descriptors are a smooth and interpretable representation of atomic physicochemical property values and intramolecular atom pair distances. Distance atomic physicochemical parameter energy relationships (DAPPER), a novel structure-activity relationship (QSAR) method using these descriptors, is validated on standard datasets.
