Motivation
- Many drug molecules exhibit tautomerism
- Internal estimates with drug-like dataset find ~30% molecules have 2 or more tautomers
- Tautomeric state affects many properties
- logP
- solubility
- permeability
- activity
- Choice of tautomer affects both QSAR model building and model predictions
