A comparative Analysis of Two Molecular Surface Generating Techniques


EMSL Project ID
2126

Abstract

This project is for partial completion of a Master of Science degree in Mathematics from Eastern Washington University. The objective of the project is to compare Harold E. Trease's Adaptive Average Laplacian Surface to Greg K. Schenter's Mean Curvature Flow Surface, with respect to molecular surface fitting. These two surfaces are very similar, and I propose to see if the differences in these surfaces are significant enough to warrant the extra computational cost of the Minimal Area Surface.
