Hi!

   Could anybody out there help me with a problem of
protein analysis? I want to calculate the area of
the surface of a given protein accessible to solvent.
The protein is defined in a .pdb file or similar.

Protein Explorer allows me to display the surface
as a 2D graphic, so that this information must be
accessible to it, but I do not seem to be able to
find the button which would give me the answer in
square angstroms.

Perhaps I need to fork out real money to buy a
proper program? Could anybody advise me which program
does what I want?

Best regards,

Zigoteau.
