Abstract
investigation.This recommendation could serve as a basis for a future study to extend and validate the results of our publication, and we will be happy to collaborate with Dr. Poojar and other experts on this endeavor.In summary, we appreciate Dr. Poojar's interest in our work and hope that this response provides sufficient explanation of our results, which, we stress, are based on models built using best practices for QSAR model development and validation.We hope this opinion exchange will spur further crossdisciplinary collaborations between the experimental and modeling communities.
