Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR)
(sometimes QSPR: quantitative structure-property relationship)


QSAR is the process by which chemical structure is quantitatively correlated with a well defined process, such as biological activity or chemical reactivity.

For example, biological activity can be expressed quantitatively as in the concentration of a substance required to give a certain biological response. Additionally, when physicochemical properties or structures are expressed by numbers, one can form a mathematical relationship, or quantitative structure-activity relationship, between the two. The mathematical expression can then be used to predict the biological response of other chemical structures.

What are quantitative physical properties?

Quantitative physical properties are measurable characteristics of a substance, such as density, mass, volume, and temperature. These properties can be expressed as numerical values and often involve units of measurement. Quantitative physical properties help define and distinguish different substances based on their specific characteristics.
