What is it about?
A novel study that show first quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) to predict toxicity of various metal oxide nanomaterials. Based on experimental testing, we have developed a model to describe the cytotoxicity of 17 different types of metal oxide nanoparticles to bacteria Escherichia coli. The methodology is expected to provide guidance for the future design of safe nanomaterials.
