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.
