Geometric techniques for molecular shape analysis
Abstract
dc:descriptionMacromolecules such as proteins and DNA have complex spatial structures which are often important for their biological functions. The idea of molecular shape and shape complementarity play crucial roles in protein folding, conformational stability, molecular solubility, crystal packing, and docking. Various models based on a union of balls representation have been suggested for representing molecular shape, including the van der Waals model, the solvent accessible surface, and the molecular surface.
