In this paper a parallel workflow for the reconstruction of molecular surfaces based on the isosurface extraction operation is proposed. The input is represented by the atomic coordinates of a molecule, the output is both its volumetric description and the isosurface that, on the basis of the user selection, corresponds to the Van der Waals, Lee & Richards or Connolly surface. The main feature of the workflow is represented by the efficient production of high resolution surfaces. This is a key aspect in Bioinformatics applications, considering that the amount of data to process may be very huge. This goal is achieved through a parallel implementation of the stages of the workflow.
