Abstract
The three-dimensional structure of a protein can be modeled by a set of polyhedra drawn around its atoms or residues. The tessellation invented by Voronoi in 1908, and other tessellations of space derived from it, provide versatile representations of three-dimensional structures. In recent years, they have been used to investigate a series of issues relating to proteins: atom and residue volumes, packing, folding, interactions and binding.Mesh：
