Overview

This script will select (and color if requested) surface residues and atoms on an object or selection. See the options below.


Each time, the script will create two new selections called, 'exposed_res_XYZ' and 'exposed_atm_XYZ' where XYZ is some random number. This is done so that no other selections/objects are overwritten.

Usage

findSurfaceResidues [objSel=(all)[, cutoff=2.5[, doShow=False[, verbose=False ]]]]

The parameters are:

objSel

The object or selection for which to find exposed residues;
DEFAULT = (all)

cutoff

The cutoff in square Angstroms that defines exposed or not. Those residues with > cutoff Ang^2 exposed will be considered exposed;
DEFAULT = 2.5 Ang^2

doShow

Change the visualization to highlight the exposed residues vs interior
DEFAULT = False/Blank

verbose

Level of verbosity.
DEFAULT = False/Blank

Examples

# make sure you download and run the code below, before trying these examples.
load $TUT/1hpv.pdb
findSurfaceResidues
# now show the exposed
findSurface residues doShow=True

# watch how the visualization changes:
findSurfaceResidues doShow=True, cutoff=0.5
findSurfaceResidues doShow=True, cutoff=1.0
findSurfaceResidues doShow=True, cutoff=1.5
findSurfaceResidues doShow=True, cutoff=2.0
findSurfaceResidues doShow=True, cutoff=2.5
findSurfaceResidues doShow=True, cutoff=3.0
