Description

g_sas computes hydrophobic, hydrophilic and total solvent accessible surface area. As a side effect the Connolly surface can be generated as well in a pdb file where the nodes are represented as atoms and the vertices connecting the nearest nodes as CONECT records. The area can be plotted per atom and per residue as well (option -ao). In combination with the latter option an itp file can be generated (option -i) which can be used to restrain surface atoms.

By default, periodic boundary conditions are taken into account, this can be turned off using the -pbc option.
