comprehensive library for creating static, animated,
and interactive visualizations in Python.
⮚ SQLAlchemy- SQLAlchemy is most famous for its
object-relational mapper (ORM), an optional
component that provides the data mapper pattern

(QSAR) is a computational modeling method for
revealing relationships between structural
properties of chemical compounds and biological
activities. QSAR modeling is essential for drug
discovery, but it has many constraints.
