Modelling biomolecular structure with geodesic curves through ordered sets of atom sites
by Rubem P. Mondaini
International Journal of Bioinformatics Research and Applications (IJBRA), Vol. 5, No. 2, 2009

Abstract: A study of the fundamental requirements which are used in the mathematical modelling of biomolecular structure is presented in this work. The visualisation of smooth spatial curves through an ordered set of points corresponding to atom sites is then considered. It is emphasised that the restrictions introduced by the choice of Euclidean Geometry as a natural paradigm lead usually to helices as the natural solution. However, some arguments are also presented for the consideration of curves which satisfy only one of the requirements or none.
