Abstract

The acid-base dissociation constant (pKa) characterizes a molecule's tendency to donate or accept protons, thereby fundamentally influencing its physicochemical properties and behavior. Consequently, pKa is pivotal to diverse applications in drug discovery, including virtual screening and drug design. However, accurate pKa prediction remains challenging, due to intricate atomic interactions among…
