Not at present.

It uses a brute-force approach based on VDW spheres of surface atoms and
hypothetical waters-in-contact.  It is spread over multiple source
files, but RepSurface.c has the top-level code.

 

Cheers,

Warren

Dear all,

Once again, I need some help from pymol experts.  I would like to select
surface residues via the surface calculation algorithm of Pymol.  Is
this possible?  What is the surface calculation algorithm that Pymol use
and is it scattered among many source-code files or is it contained in
just one source-code file?

Thanks in advance.
Best,
Quyen
