A computational approach to evaluate the androgenic affinity of iprodione, procymidone, vinclozolin and their metabolites.

Our research is aimed at devising and assessing a computational approach to evaluate the affinity of endocrine active substances (EASs) and their metabolites towards the ligand binding domain (LBD) of the androgen receptor (AR) in three distantly related species: human, rat, and zebrafish. We comput...
