Structural properties of molecules are of primary concern in many fields. This report provides a comprehensive
overview on techniques that have been developed in the fields of molecular graphics and visualization with a focus
on applications in structural biology. The field heavily relies on computerized geometric and visual representations
of three-dimensional, complex, large, and time-varying molecular structures. The report presents a taxonomy that
demonstrates which areas of molecular visualization have already been extensively investigated and where the field
is currently heading. It discusses visualizations for molecular structures, strategies for efficient display regarding
image quality and frame rate, covers different aspects of level of detail, and reviews visualizations illustrating the
dynamic aspects of molecular simulation data. The report concludes with an outlook on promising and important
research topics to enable further success in advancing the knowledge about interaction of molecular structures.
