A new model predicts how molecules will dissolve in different solvents
Using machine learning, MIT chemical engineers have created a computational model that can predict how well any given molecule will dissolve in an organic solvent — a key step in the synthesis of nearly any pharmaceutical. This type of prediction could make it much easier to develop new ways to produce drugs and other useful molecules. The new model, which predicts how much of a solute will dissolve in a particular solvent, should help chemists to choose the […]
