Abstract EN
Bioinformatics applied to macromolecules are now widely spread and in continuous expansion.
In this context, representing external molecular surface such as the Van der Waals Surface or the Solvent Excluded Surface can be useful for several applications.
We propose a fast and parameterizable algorithm giving good visual quality meshes representing molecular surfaces.
It is obtained by isosurfacing a filtered electron density map.
The density map is the result of the maximum of Gaussian functions placed around atom centers.
This map is filtered by an ideal low-pass filter applied on the Fourier Transform of the density map.
Applying the marching cubes algorithm on the inverse transform provides a mesh representation of the molecular surface.
