How Accurately Can We Predict the Melting Points of Drug-like Compounds?

Luc Patiny

This article contributes a highly accurate model for predicting the melting points (MPs) of medicinal chemistry compounds. The model was developed using the largest published data set, comprising more than 47k compounds. The distributions of MPs in drug-li ...
