Abstract
Specific interactions or recognition processes are extremely important in many fields of chemistry and biology: typical examples are the enzyme‐substrate and the antigen‐antibody reactions. Quantitative predictions require a knowledge of steric fit, intermolecular forces, and molecular size. These considerations should facilitate design of new drugs.Keywords
