models were constructed, one for Plasmodium falciparum NMT and another for Homo sapiens NMT, for each QSAR method. The predictive ability of all QSAR models was significant (r2 > 0.90 and q2 > 0.70). Comparing results of different enzymes, we achieved great understanding of structure-selectivity relationship. Finally, these QSAR models…
