Chemical structure-function analysis identifies further respiratory sensitisers

This paper updates the original with further identified sensitisers. The predictive model worked well but did not not predicted 3 of the new occupational allergens, sevofluorane, eugenol and a benzoic acid derivative. Is the predictive model sufficiently good to suggest that these might be acting via alternative mechanisms?
