| Description | Proteins are organic compounds and are contained in every living cell. Protein engineering studies proteins and tries to modify th em. For this purpose it uses (among others) an analysis of tunnels – paths, whic h lead from an interesting place inside a protein to its surface. In this pape r the geometric approximation of tunnels in protein molecules and the application of regular triangulation for its computation are described. Two new types of tunnel approximations are introduced and compared with the existing method of the tunnel computation. |
