TLDR
An extension of a set previously used by the CheckMol software that covers in addition heterocyclic compound classes and periodic table groups is described, which demonstrates that EFG can be efficiently used to develop and interpret structure-activity relationship models.
Abstract
The article describes a classification system termed "extended functional groups" (EFG), which are an extension of a set previously used by the CheckMol software, that covers in addition heterocyclic compound classes and periodic table groups. The functional groups are defined as SMARTS patterns and are available as part of the ToxAlerts tool (http://ochem.eu/alerts) of the On-line CHEmical database and Modeling (OCHEM) environment platform. The article describes the motivation and the main ideas behind this extension and demonstrates that EFG can be efficiently used to develop and interpret structure-activity relationship models.

Lignin degradation: microorganisms, enzymes involved, genomes analysis and evolution.

TL;DR: A detailed description of low molecular weight compounds is presented, which gives these organisms not only an advantage in wood degradation processes, but seems rather to be a new evolutionatory alternative to enzymatic combustion.

Insights into the Nature of Eutectic and Deep Eutectic Mixtures

TL;DR: In this article, a stricter definition of a deep eutectic solvent (DES) is proposed, for which the point temperature should be lower than that of an ideal liquid mixture, and hydrogen bonding between the DES components should not be used to define or characterize a DES.

Group‐contribution estimation of activity coefficients in nonideal liquid mixtures

TL;DR: In this article, a group-contribution method is presented for the prediction of activity coefficients in nonelectrolyte liquid mixtures, which combines the solution-of-functional-groups concept with a model for activity coefficients based on an extension of the quasi chemical theory of liquid mixture (UNIQUAC).
