Dear Justin,

Thank you for the link! I know how to calculate it - that is what I am doing.
 Interface AREA = 0.5 (Protein SAS+ 30 Ligands SAS- Protein and 30Ligands
SAS) This is relevant to the situation where ligands do not aggregate.

I my system 22 out of 30 ligands bind to my protein creating two clusters on
the terminals of the protein. In this case they cover the area between them.
What I think  is that  I have to substract the interface between them from
this equation. Am I right? The question is - how to do this? g_cluster will
help?


Yes, you do have to account for ligand-ligand interactions and buried surfaces, and I suspect that doing so won't be trivial. Probably lots of iterations of g_sas will be required to cover all the necessary permutations of different interfaces. g_cluster may help, but if you already know that the clusters form it's just a matter of determining which molecules (by residue number) are involved in each cluster so you can make appropriate index groups.

Thank you.

Dear Gromacs Users,



My system has 30 ligands - they aggregate and and seperate during the simulation time and stack to two sites of my protein (two clusters). I want
to calculate the interface area between ligands and protein so I need to
substract the interface between ligands due to the aggregations. Do you
know how to do this?


See the thread from just a few days ago about the same question:

Thank you in advance!
