A machine learning-based methodology for the prediction of chemical reaction products, along with automated elucidation of mechanistic details via phase space analysis of reactive trajectories, is introduced using low-dimensional heuristic models and...
Saponins are a type of compounds bearing a hydrophobic steroid/triterpenoid moiety and hydrophilic carbohydrate branches. The majority of the saponins demonstrate a broad range of prominent pharmacological activities. Nevertheless, many saponins also...
