A thorough knowledge of noncovalent interactions is crucial to the understanding of biological complexity. One of the less well understood but significant weak interactions in nature is the aromatic interaction. Recent studies have provided new insight into the driving force, stability and selectivity of these interactions. The contribution of solvophobic and electrostatic interactions have been shown to be inextricably linked. Moreover, the influence of electrostatic and solvophobic components on the selectivity of aromatic interactions has been demonstrated.
全面了解非共价相互作用对于理解生物复杂性至关重要。自然界中一种鲜为人知但却十分重要的弱相互作用是芳香相互作用。最近的研究为这些相互作用的驱动力、稳定性和选择性提供了新的见解。已表明疏溶剂相互作用和静电相互作用的贡献紧密相连。此外，还证明了静电和疏溶剂成分对芳香相互作用选择性的影响。
