# Aqueous Solubility Database (AqSolDB)

AqSolDB is created by the Autonomous Energy Materials Discovery [AMD] research group, consists of aqueous solubility values of 
9,982 unique compounds curated from 9 different publicly available aqueous solubility datasets. This openly accessible dataset, 
which is the largest of its kind, and will not only serve as a useful reference source of measured solubility data, but also 
as a much improved and generalizable training data source for building data-driven models.

## Quickstart Usage

### Load a dataset in python
Each subset can be loaded into python using the Huggingface [datasets](https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/index) library.
First, from the command line install the `datasets` library

    $ pip install datasets

then, from within python load the datasets library

    >>> import datasets
   
and load one of the `AqSolDB` datasets, e.g.,

    >>> AqSolDB = datasets.load_dataset("maomlab/AqSolDB", name = "AqSolDB")
    Downloading readme: 100%|████████████████████| 10.2k/10.2k [00:00<00:00, 4.41MB/s]
    Downloading data: 100%|█████████████████████████| 972k/972k [00:02<00:00, 432kB/s]
    Downloading data: 100%|██████████████████████| 2.88M/2.88M [00:01<00:00, 1.92MB/s]
    Generating test split: 100%|████████| 2494/2494 [00:00<00:00, 44727.48 examples/s]
    Generating train split: 100%|██████| 7488/7488 [00:00<00:00, 144316.82 examples/s]

and inspecting the loaded dataset

    >>> AqSolDB
    AqSolDB
    DatasetDict({
        test: Dataset({
            features: ['ID', 'Name', 'InChI', 'InChIKey', 'SMILES', 'Y', 'SD', 'Ocurrences', 'Group', 'MolWt', 'MolLogP', 'MolMR', 'HeavyAtomCount', 'NumHAcceptors', 'NumHDonors', 'NumHeteroatoms', 'NumRotatableBonds', 'NumValenceEl\
    ectrons', 'NumAromaticRings', 'NumSaturatedRings', 'NumAliphaticRings', 'RingCount', 'TPSA', 'LabuteASA', 'BalabanJ', 'BertzCT', 'ClusterNo', 'MolCount', 'group'],
            num_rows: 2494
        })
        train: Dataset({
            features: ['ID', 'Name', 'InChI', 'InChIKey', 'SMILES', 'Y', 'SD', 'Ocurrences', 'Group', 'MolWt', 'MolLogP', 'MolMR', 'HeavyAtomCount', 'NumHAcceptors', 'NumHDonors', 'NumHeteroatoms', 'NumRotatableBonds', 'NumValenceEl\
    ectrons', 'NumAromaticRings', 'NumSaturatedRings', 'NumAliphaticRings', 'RingCount', 'TPSA', 'LabuteASA', 'BalabanJ', 'BertzCT', 'ClusterNo', 'MolCount', 'group'],
            num_rows: 7488
        })
    })

### Use a dataset to train a model
One way to use the dataset is through the [MolFlux](https://exscientia.github.io/molflux/) package developed by Exscientia.
First, from the command line, install `MolFlux` library with `catboost` and `rdkit` support

    pip install 'molflux[catboost,rdkit]'

then load, featurize, split, fit, and evaluate the catboost model

    import json
    from datasets import load_dataset
    from molflux.datasets import featurise_dataset
    from molflux.features import load_from_dicts as load_representations_from_dicts
    from molflux.splits import load_from_dict as load_split_from_dict
    from molflux.modelzoo import load_from_dict as load_model_from_dict
    from molflux.metrics import load_suite
    
    split_dataset = load_dataset('maomlab/AqSolDB')
    
    split_featurised_dataset = featurise_dataset(
      split_dataset,
      column = "SMILES",
      representations = load_representations_from_dicts([{"name": "morgan"}, {"name": "maccs_rdkit"}]))

    model = load_model_from_dict({
        "name": "cat_boost_regressor",
        "config": {
            "x_features": ['SMILES::morgan', 'SMILES::maccs_rdkit'],
            "y_features": ['Y']}})
    
    model.train(split_featurised_dataset["train"])
    preds = model.predict(split_featurised_dataset["test"])
    
    regression_suite = load_suite("regression")
    
    scores = regression_suite.compute(
        references=split_featurised_dataset["test"]['Y'],
        predictions=preds["cat_boost_regressor::Y"])    


## Aqueous Solubility Database

### Data splits
The original AqSoDB dataset does not define splits, so here we have used the `Realistic Split` method described
in [(Martin et al., 2018)](https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jcim.7b00166).

AB  - Water is a ubiquitous solvent in chemistry and life. 
It is therefore no surprise that the aqueous solubility of compounds has a key role in various domains, 
including but not limited to drug discovery, paint, coating, and battery materials design. 
Measurement and prediction of aqueous solubility is a complex and prevailing challenge in chemistry. 
For the latter, different data-driven prediction models have recently been developed to augment the physics-based modeling approaches. 
To construct accurate data-driven estimation models, it is essential that the underlying experimental calibration data used by these models is of high fidelity and quality.
Existing solubility datasets show variance in the chemical space of compounds covered, measurement methods, experimental conditions, 
but also in the non-standard representations, size, and accessibility of data. 
To address this problem, we generated a new database of compounds, AqSolDB, by merging a total of nine different aqueous solubility datasets, 
curating the merged data, standardizing and validating the compound representation formats, marking with reliability labels, and providing 2D descriptors of compounds as a Supplementary Resource.
