We discuss the tangible consequences of the existence of Pauli forbidden states of relative motion of two nuclei for the nucleus-nucleus interaction. The ranges of the influence of the Pauli forbidden states are tabulated for the systems ${}_{}{}^{12}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{C}$-${}_{}{}^{12,13,14}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{C}$, ${}_{}{}^{14}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{C}$-${}_{}{}^{14}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{C}$, ${}_{}{}^{12,14}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{C}$-${}_{}{}^{16}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{O}$, ${}_{}{}^{16}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{O}$-${}_{}{}^{16}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{O}$, $\alpha$-${}_{}{}^{28}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Si}$, and $\alpha$-${}_{}{}^{40}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Ca}$.
