Transferable Atom Equivalents have been used to supply properties derived from electron density data. These properties are not available to mechanics or empirical functions. Two approaches have been the subject of ongoing work, atom-based, and surface projection based. Each brings advantages to protein ligand scoring and both will be compared and updated results presented.
