Use Swiss PDB Viewer (or O) to generate crystal symmetry mates of the protein of interest that

pack against it in the crystal and output the symmetry mates you are interested in into a new pdb file.

Then run the surface area calculations on the complex and the separate proteins.

Subject: [ccp4bb]: crystal packing effects on solvent accessibility calculations

 

Hi all:

Recently, a question was asked on the BB about calculating solvent accessibilities (SA) in CCP4. Similarly,  I am interested in retrieving SA values for protein atoms in a pdb file, however I want to take into consideration the crystal packing environment (in other words, how the symmetry-related molecules effect the solvent probe accessibility to the "origin" molecule). I've got absolute SA values from NACCESS but can't figure out how to address the packing issue with this or with SURFACE and/or CONTACT in CCP4. Is there a way to do this in CCP4/CCP4i or is this a ccp4mg capability? Other programs available that can address this?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions and have a happy Thanksgiving everyone!
