Abstract

Color-coded computer graphics representations of the electrostatic potentials of trypsin, trypsin-inhibitor, prealbumin and its thyroxine complex, fragments of double-helical DNA, and a netropsin--DNA complex illustrate the electrostatic and topographic complementarity in macromolecule-ligand interactions. This approach is powerful in revealing intermolecular specificity and shows promise of having predictive value in drug design.
