Abstract

We reviewed our recent studies on the molecular recognition and stability of biomolecules in aqueous solutions, which have been carried out based on the statistical mechanics of molecular liquids, or the 3D-RISM/RISM theory. A special stress is put on roles of electrolytes in determining the stability of biomolecules.
