Surface Racer 5.0 – Calculation of Accessible and Molecular Surface Areas and Average Surface Curvature

Surface Racer 5.0

:: DESCRIPTION

Surface Racer calculates exact accessible surface area, molecular surface area and average curvature of molecular surface for macromolecules. The program also analyzes cavities in the protein interior inaccessible to solvent from outside. The output includes the surface parameters for each residue in addition to those for individual atoms.

SURFace – Calculate Solvent accessible surface area

SURFace

:: DESCRIPTION

SURFace is a programs that calculate solvent accessible surface area and curvature corrected solvent accessible surface area. The accessible surface output is calculated for the whole molecule, per residue, and per atom.

MASKER – Molecular Surface Area Calculator

MASKER

:: DESCRIPTION

MASKER is a program for calculating solvent accessible surface (SAS) solvent excluded surface (SES) and solvation energy. Three program that use the MASKER module are included in this package:

pdbmask — calculates the solvent excluded surface of atoms in PDB format
maskercm — calculates the pairwise buried surface of residues in a protein
voidmask — finds the locations of buried empty spaces with in a protein, or any molecule.
