  bibo_abstract:
  - The size and shape of macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids play an
    important role in their functions. Prior efforts to quantify these properties
    have been based on various discretization or tessellation procedures involving
    analytical or numerical computations. In this article, we present an analytically
    exact method for computing the metric properties of macromolecules based on the
    alpha shape theory. This method uses the duality between alpha complex and the
    weighted Voronoi decomposition of a molecule. We describe the intuitive ideas
    and concepts behind the alpha shape theory and the algorithm for computing areas
    and volumes of macromolecules. We apply our method to compute areas and volumes
    of a number of protein systems. We also discuss several difficulties commonly
    encountered in molecular shape computations and outline methods to overcome these
    problems. (C) 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.@eng
