Dear Deliang The SURFACE program is still included in the current version of the suite, so you should be able to run it from the command line or from a a script. However there is no CCP4i interface to SURFACE, so you cannot run it that way.
There is an interface to the AREAIMOL program which gives options for calculating solvent accessible surface areas and area differences in a variety of situations - this can be found in the "Program List" module as "AreaIMol", or in the "Structure Analysis" module as "Accessible Surface Areas". There are differences between both the algorithms and functionalities of SURFACE and AREAIMOL which may or may not be significant to you; a comparison of the programs can be found here: http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/newsletters/newsletter38/03_surfarea.html Alternatively the CCP4mg molecular graphics program has options for calculating and visualising accessible surface areas. I hope that this helps, best wishes Peter deliang wrote: > Hi, > > I just installed the newest version of ccp4i in windows.
