The smooth molecular surface originally described by Richards and later implemented by Connolly in his MS program has become an important visualization technique in the field of molecular modeling. We describe here a new algorithm, called USURF, which approximates the MS dot surface, but with a twofold to sixfold enhancement of speed. The algorithm has been incorporated into our interactive modeling system, Mosaic, and is also available as a stand-alone program.
最初由理查兹描述、后来由康诺利在其分子表面程序中实现的光滑分子表面，已成为分子建模领域一种重要的可视化技术。我们在此描述一种名为USURF的新算法，它可近似分子表面点模型，但速度提高了两倍到六倍。该算法已被纳入我们的交互式建模系统Mosaic中，也可作为独立程序使用。
