Notes:
An algorithm is described for rapid calculation of excluded volume of large molecules. The excluded volume is defined based on coordinates of constituent atoms as the volume of overlapping spheres, each standing for a space around an atom inaccessible for a solvent molecule. A computer program based on the algorithm has been tested on a protein, ovomucoid. The accuracy of the numerical calculation is discussed.
