[gmx-users] Hydrophobic and hydrophilic SASA for a particular portion of a protein

[Sudip Das]

Dear Justin,

Thanks for your reply!

As you said, I checked with gmx sasa. But it is giving total SASA for the
selected region of protein, not the hydrophobic and hydrophilic part of the
total SASA for that region. To get it, do I have to use some flags
available with gmx sasa?

I have one more query. When I specified -surface flag with gmx sasa, I got
the coordinate for the protein together with the coordinate for surface
area as dotted point. I have done this calculation over 50 to 100 ns of my
simulation trajectory. Is the generated coordinate for protein
(together with the coordinate for dotted surface area) averaged over all
the frames within 50 to 100ns?

Thanks again for your valuable time.

Best wishes,
Sudip
