Abstract Since the 1988 monograph “Distance Geometry and Molecular Conformation” by Crippen and Havel, there have been significant changes in the application of distance geometry to problems of chemical interest. This review attempts to outline what the current state of the art is, in both the underlying mathematical methods and chemical applications, and to indicate future developments. Rather than go into details concerning algorithms and theorems, the emphasis is on defining the kinds of problems we can solve or would like to, and then guiding the interested reader to the recent literature. Special emphasis is given to the problem of determining macromolecular conformation in solution by NMR, including energy functions, and dealing with conformational flexibility.
