✦ Synopsis

A nonanalytical procedure is proposed to calculate the surface area and cross-sectional areas of molecules. Results are reviewed for about 70 species comprising alkanes, acyclic and cyclic, alkyl halides, and alcohols. By regression analysis, relationships are detected between surface areas or segment areas and physical properties. Computed cross-sectional areas are confronted with adsorption values. Four ways are proposed to define quantitatively the intuitive notion of "molecular globularity".

This article examines the numerical estimation of molecular surface areas within the model of overlapping atomic spheres. One has the choice of either basing the estimate on all elements that contribute to the surface, or of ignoring systematically some elements in the interatomic clefts. It is argu

## Abstract In molecular docking, it is challenging to develop a scoring function that is accurate to conduct high‐throughput screenings. Most scoring functions implemented in popular docking software packages were developed with many approximations for computational efficiency, which sacrifices th
