Abstract: | Conventional space filling molecular modeling in computers, using the scan method, takes considerable computer time and effort. In depicting the CPK-image on a computer screen, the hidden-point removal is the main task and on such an image, the front-line atoms hide the back-benchers and their whereabouts become completely unknown, in a given view of the picture. While in search of a simple and faster algorithm for producing surface graphics of molecules, we have developed a novel method, which is considerably faster than the conventional one and it has an interesting transparency-effect which would be useful in the various fields of molecular designs. |
