Illustration of the idea of modeling molecular interactions by interaction surfaces. Examples of interaction surfaces. An interaction takes place if an interaction center of a ligand lies on the interaction surface of a receptor and vice–versa (upper part). Oxygen atom (lower left) plays the role of an acceptor, and oxygen and nitrogen (lower right) of donors of hydrogen bond. Interaction surfaces are spherical sections with a 1.9 Å radius.
