Abstract

Emerging macro-molecular simulations, such as supercoiling 
of DNA and protein unfolding, have an opportunity to profit from 
two decades of experience with geometric models within computer-aided
geometric design (CAGD). For CAGD, static models are often sufficient,
while form and function are inextricably related in biochemistry, resulting
in greater attention to critical topological characteristics of these
dynamic models. The greater emphasis upon dynamic change in macro-molecular
simulations imposes increased demands for faithful integration
of topology and geometry, as well as much stricter requirements
for computational efficiency. This article presents transitions from the
CAGD domain to meet the greater fidelity and performance demands 
for macro-molecular simulations.
