The affinities between a biomolecule and an interface of a soft material were evaluated by calculating interaction energy acting on them. Computational chemistry approaches were used to assess these profiles for a biomolecules approaching a zwitterionic or nonionic biocompatible material surface. Our evaluations demonstrate that the minimum values for interaction energy profiles are directly correlated with their affinities, suggesting that the biocompatibility of soft materials can be conveniently estimated from our theoretical calculations.
