The computational chemistry and cheminformatics community faces many challenges to advancing the state of the art. We discuss three of those challenges here: accurately estimating the contribution of entropy to ligand binding; reliably estimating the uncertainties in model predictions for new molecules; and being able to effectively curate the ever-expanding literature and commercial databases needed to build new models.
计算化学和化学信息学领域在推动技术发展方面面临着诸多挑战。我们在这里讨论其中三个挑战:准确估计熵对配体结合的贡献;可靠估计新分子模型预测的不确定性;以及能够有效地管理不断扩展的文献和商业数据库,以构建新模型。
