Iv. Svitanko et al., A METHOD FOR DESCRIBING THE MOLECULAR ELECTROSTATIC POTENTIAL IN DETERMINING STRUCTURE-ACTIVITY RELATIONSHIP, Mendeleev communications, (5), 1994, pp. 161-162
Electrostatic complementarity is more important than geometrical compl
ementarity in quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) calc
ulations. The similarity of molecular electrostatic potentials (MEP) (
the occurrence of combinations of points possessing a definite electro
static potential) describes the structure-odour relationship as a part
icular case of such calculations at a sufficient probability level.
