Common geometric models for proteins and other molecules are the space-filling diagram, the solvent accessible surface and the molecular surface. In this paper we present a new approach to triangulating the surface of a molecule under the three models, which is fast, robust, and results in topologically correct triangulations. Our computations are based on a simplicial complex dual to the molecule models. All proposed algorithms are parallelizable."}],"day":"05","date_published":"1996-12-05T00:00:00Z","publist_id":"2102","status":"public","volume":71,"intvolume":"        71","user_id":"ea97e931-d5af-11eb-85d4-e6957dddbf17","publication":"Discrete Applied Mathematics","article_type":"original","main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0166218X96000546?via%3Dihub"}],"publisher":"Elsevier","scopus_import":"1","oa_version":"Published Version","citation":{"mla":"Akkiraju, Nataraj, and Herbert Edelsbrunner. “Triangulating the Surface of a Molecule.” <i>Discrete Applied Mathematics</i>, vol. 71, no. 1–3, Elsevier, 1996, pp. 5–22, doi:<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1016/S0166-218X(96)00054-6\">10.1016/S0166-218X(96)00054-6</a>.","ieee":"N.
