After solubility, partitioning is probably the most useful behaviour that allows selection of a potential drug candidate. But how is partitioning behaviour actually quantified? Through the partition coefficient! In this short video, we look at why partitioning behaviour is important and how partition coefficients, and log P values, are defined. There is a related video on solubility that you can watch here;
