Complementarity determining region studies

Various shape complementarity measures can also be determined based on shape codes. This is an important problem since molecular recognition usually depends on the complementarity of local regions of molecules, where complementarity may refer to electron distributions, polarizability properties, electrostatic potentials, or simply geometric considerations. The powerful topological techniques are suitable for the quantification of the degree of molecular complementarity and can be used as tools for the study of molecular recognition.
