A new technique in computer modeling of molecules with transparency effect, due to partially stripped surfaces.
Conventional space filling molecular modeling in computers, using the scan method, takes considerable computer time and effort. In depicting the CPK-image on a computer screen, the hidden-point removal is the main task and on such an image, the front-line atoms hide the back-benchers and their whereabouts become completely unknown, in a given view of the picture. While in search of a simple and faster algorithm for producing surface graphics of molecules, we have developed a novel method, which is considerably faster than the conventional one and it has an interesting transparency-effect which would be useful in the various fields of molecular designs.
