Expand description
Shrake-Rupley solvent-accessible surface area (SASA) algorithm.
Distributes test points on a sphere around each atom (van der Waals radius plus probe radius), counts how many points are NOT buried inside a neighbor, and scales to area.

Structs§
- Sasa
Result - Result of a SASA calculation.
Constants§
- DEFAULT_
NUM_ POINTS - Default number of test points per atom sphere (92 is a common choice, 960 or 2562 give higher accuracy).
- DEFAULT_
PROBE_ RADIUS - Default probe radius (water) in Ångström.
Functions§
- compute_
sasa - Compute solvent-accessible surface area for a set of atoms.
- compute_
sasa_ parallel - Compute SASA using rayon to evaluate atoms independently.
- vdw_
radius - Van der Waals radii (Å) by atomic number (Bondi radii).
