Comprehensive pKa Data Augmentation from Limited Real Data through an Engineered Models-Quantum Framework
arXiv:2606.17077v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Proton dissociation constants (pKa) are critical for functional molecule discovery and molecular modeling. Building on iBonD, the largest experimental pKa database established, we and other researchers have developed several methods including machine-learning-based empirical prediction and high-accuracy energy calculations. Despite this foundation, the rapid augmentation of high-quality pKa data remains fundamentally constrained. As part of this work, we performed large-scale regression-based pKa prediction on unlabeled molecular datasets using
The increasing availability of high-quality experimental data and advancements in AI/ML techniques are enabling more sophisticated approaches to molecular research, making this an opportune time for data augmentation breakthroughs.
This development addresses a critical bottleneck in drug discovery and materials science by rapidly generating high-quality molecular property data, accelerating research and development cycles.
The ability to augment pKa data from limited real-world sources will significantly expand the pool of usable information for molecular modeling, making computational predictions more reliable and efficient.
