Hi everyone,

I am using areaimol to compare surface differences between a ligand-bound and 
apo structure,
but I don't really understand the meaning of the "contact area" it is writting out. (the definition given in the program discription on the CCP4 website doesn't help me, sorry)

Thanks a lot in advance!

Sabine

Hi Sabine,

You can have a look at the following CCP4 newsletter:
http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/newsletters/newsletter38/03_surfarea.html
 Fig. 1 shows how the solvent accessible surface area is defined
Fig. 2 shows what the contact area is.
