Predicting pKa isn’t just computational, it’s about understanding chemical behavior. Learn about the science behind pKa, how different pKa predictors work, and how ACD/Labs’ tools help chemists and regulators anticipate molecular behavior before synthesis or testing begins.

As drug discovery expands beyond traditional boundaries, complex small molecules like PROTACs challenge old rules. Discover how ACD/Labs' predictive platforms help scientists design bioavailable, scalable drugs in the evolving ‘bRo5’ space with precision and confidence.

Chromatography aims to separate an analyte mixture into sharp, symmetrical, and well-resolved peaks for quantitative and qualitative analysis. To do this, it is crucial to understand ionization and the ionic form(s) of analytes at a given pH. The use of predictive software tools allows quick selection of optimal conditions and helps build robustness into methods from the start.

There just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day to get everything done. There are ways to gain time and be able to do more but they can be difficult to identify because until we’re exposed to them we carry on as we always have. If you are still doing any of the things discussed here, then there are ways you can gain hours in your day and even do your job better than you are right now!
