To solve this problem, several algorithms based on machine-learning (ML) have been developed to fit high-level QM atomic charges. Here, we proposed DeepChargePredictor, a web server that is able to generate the high-level QM atomic charges for small molecules based on two state-of-the-art ML algorithms developed in our group, namely AtomPathDescriptor and DeepAtomicCharge. These two algorithms were seamlessly integrated into the platform with the capability to predict three kinds of charges (i.e. RESP, AM1-BCC and DDEC) widely used in structure-based drug design. Moreover, we have comprehensively evaluated the performance of these charges generated by DeepChargePredictor for large-scale drug design applications, such as end-point binding free energy calculations and virtual screening, which all show reliable or even better performance compared with the baseline methods.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Availability and implementation<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The data in the article can be obtained on the web page http:\/\/cadd.zju.edu.cn\/deepchargepredictor\/publication.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Supplementary information<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btab389","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,17]],"date-time":"2021-05-17T19:18:06Z","timestamp":1621279086000},"page":"4255-4257","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["<i>DeepChargePredictor<\/i>: a web server for predicting QM-based atomic charges via <i>state-of-the-art<\/i> machine-learning algorithms"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"37","author":[{"given":"Jike","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science, Wuhan University , Wuhan 430072, China"},{"name":"Innovation Institute for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine of Zhejiang University, College of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Zhejiang University , Hangzhou, Zhejiang 310058, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Huiyong","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicinal Chemistry, China Pharmaceutical University , Nanjing, Jiangsu 210009, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jiawen","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wuhan Institute of Physics and Mathematics, Chinese Academy of Sciences , Wuhan, Hubei 430071, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dejun","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science, Wuhan University , Wuhan 430072, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhe","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science, Wuhan University , Wuhan 430072, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhenxing","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science, Wuhan University , Wuhan 430072, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xi","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Innovation Institute for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine of Zhejiang University, College of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Zhejiang University , Hangzhou, Zhejiang 310058, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dongsheng","family":"Cao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Xiangya School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Central South University , Changsha, Hunan 410004, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7227-2580","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tingjun","family":"Hou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science, Wuhan University , Wuhan 430072, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023051607091666900_btab389-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"10269","DOI":"10.1021\/j100142a004","article-title":"A well-behaved electrostatic potential based method using charge restraints for deriving atomic charges: the RESP model","volume":"97","author":"Bayly","year":"1993","journal-title":"J.
