Physiochemical Properties



pKa - Difficult to calculate accurately, there are a few sites that give experimentally determined data.

The Chemaxon website
Provides free access to Marvin a Java based chemical editor for drawing chemical structures. It has a rich (and growing) list of editing features, is chemically aware and is able to call ChemAxon's structure based calculation plugins for structures on the canvas.


Virtual Computational Chemistry Lab

This site provides free on-line tools, which are helpful in performing computational chemistry, ADME/T and chemoinformatics tasks including the building and visualisation of chemical structures, the calculation of molecular properties and the analysis of relationships between chemical structure and properties.
On-line software includes:-

  • ALOGPS 2.1 is the most accurate program to predict lipophilicity and aqueous solubility of molecules

  • ASNN calculates highly predictive non-linear neural network models

  • E-BABEL is molecular structure information interchange hub

  • PNN produces clearly interpretable analytical non-linear models

  • PCLIENT generates more than 3000 descriptors

  • E-DRAGON calculates DRAGON molecular indices

  • PLS implements original two-step descriptors selection procedure

  • UFS produces a reduced data set that contains no redundancy and a minimal amount of multicollinearity
