Polyhedral models of the distribution of the essential functional groups (the EFG polyhedra) within biomolecules provide simple tools for the study of small deformations affecting the mutual positioning of functional groups. In general, the relative locations of various functional groups may have an

The distribution of the essential functional groups within biomolecules is described by a series of polyhedral models. As a function of a threshold of the electronic density of the biomolecule, the combinatorial types of these polyhedra are threshold-dependent within each series, resulting in a char
A group theoretical framework is proposed for a detailed characterization of the shapes of electronic charge distributions of general, asymmetric molecules. The proposed shape groups are the homology and cohomology groups of charge density contour surfaces. These shape groups depend on two real para
