Operational Insights from the Front Lines of OpenADMET: Lessons from Our Blind Challenges

MacDermott-Opeskin, H.; Castellanos, M.; Swain, J. A.; Scheen, J.; Colby, S.; Channing, G.; Simpkins, S.; Warneford-Thompson, R.; Correy, G. J.; Handly, L. N.; Kosuri, S.; Chodera, J. D.; Fraser, J. S.; Walters, W. P. What running OpenADMET’s blind challenges has taught us about the gap between reported model performance and using ADMET models in live drug discovery projects.
