Figure 3

Display of the molecular surface properties of acyclovir and penciclovir as determined by the molecular modelling. This reveals parts of the molecule which participate to hydrophobic or electrostatic interactions, which might result in bioavailability difference. Dark areas indicate hydrophilic areas and lighter areas are hydrophobic moieties, indicated by an arrow.
