Which consequence results when misaligned orbitals cause steric hindrance during molecular docking?

💡 Explanation

Steric hindrance prevents optimal intermolecular interactions, because repulsive forces increase potential energy via Pauli Exclusion. Thus the induced Clash Score increases exponentially, therefore reducing intermolecular binding affinity, rather than stabilizing conformation or secondary cooperative effects.
