Popis: Abstract With the development of biomolecular modeling and simulation, especially implicit solvent modeling, higher requirements are set for the stability, efficiency and mesh quality of molecular mesh generation software. In this review, we summarize the recent works in biomolecular mesh generation and molecular visualization. First, we introduce various definitions of molecular surface and corresponding meshing software. Second, as the mesh quality significantly influences biomolecular simulation, we investigate some remeshing methods in the fields of computer graphics and molecular modeling. Then, we show the application of biomolecular mesh in the boundary element method (BEM) and the finite element method (FEM). Finally, to conveniently visualize the numerical results based on the mesh, we present two types of molecular visualization systems.
