A pharmacophore is a set of structural features in a ligand that are directly related to the ligand's recognition at a receptor site and its biological activity. The structural features are usually described in terms of discrete hydrogen bond donors or acceptors, lipophilic centers, ring centroids, and so on, separated in terms of distances (more usually, distance ranges).
