  text: Common geometric models for proteins and other molecules are the space filling
    diagram, the solvent accessible surface, and the molecular surface. We describe
    software that computes metric properties of these models, including volume and
    surface area. It also measures voids or empty space enclosed by the protein, and
    it keeps track of surface area contributions of individual atoms. The software
    is based on 3-dimensional alpha complexes and on inclusion-exclusion formulas
    with terms derived from the simplices in this complex.
