摘要
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.
