Area of Science:

  • Computational chemistry
  • Molecular modeling
  • Computer graphics

Background:

  • Quantitative molecular surface analysis is crucial for understanding molecular interactions and reactivity.
  • The Marching Tetrahedra (MT) method offers an efficient approach for generating molecular surface vertices.
  • Existing MT methods face challenges with computational expense and artificial surface extremes due to vertex distribution.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a method for eliminating spurious surface vertices generated by the MT approach.
  • To enhance the efficiency and reliability of quantitative molecular surface analysis.
  • To optimize computational parameters for electrostatic potential and average local ionization energy calculations.

Main Methods:

  • A novel algorithm to filter and remove unreasonably distributed surface vertices from MT-generated meshes.
  • Implementation of a bisection iteration procedure to improve linear interpolation accuracy.
  • Investigation of optimal grid spacing for surface analysis.

Main Results:

  • The proposed vertex elimination method reduces electrostatic potential analysis time by over 60% with negligible accuracy loss.
  • Artificial surface extremes are significantly mitigated.
  • Recommended grid spacings of 0.25 bohr for electrostatic potential and 0.20 bohr for average local ionization energy were determined.

Conclusions:

  • The developed method provides a computationally efficient and accurate approach for quantitative molecular surface analysis.
  • Optimized parameters enhance the reliability of predicting molecular properties.
  • This work contributes to more effective computational studies of molecular interactions and reactivity.
