Abstract
In the case of the non-substituted aromatic hydrocarbons there exist many different correlations between certain molecular properties of these compounds and their carcinogenic activity. Some correlations can be successfully extended to other carcinogenic compounds (aromatic amines, dyes, and molecules with mustard groups). With the help of perturbation theory methods we are able to reveal some interrelationships between the different correlations and to show that the nucleic acids are the specific bioreceptors of carcinogenic molecules.
