Recent progress in the theory of molecular recognition in biomolecules is reviewed, which has been made based on the statistical mechanics of liquids or the 3D-RISM/RISM theory. The molecular recognition of a ligand by the protein is realized by the 3D-distribution functions: if one finds some conspicuous peaks in the distribution of a ligand inside protein, then the ligand is regarded as “recognized” by the protein. 3D-distribution functions can be obtained by means of 3D-RISM/RISM theory. Some biochemical processes are investigated, which are intimately related to the molecular recognition of small ligands such as water, ions, and carbon monoxide by a protein.
