Definition

The SASA energy is the mean solvent-accessible surface area of atoms in the group, normalized by a maximum SASA value. ESASA=1Natoms,GaGSASAaSASAmaxE_{\mathrm{SASA}} = \frac{1}{N_{\mathrm{atoms},G}} \sum_{a \in G} \frac{\mathrm{SASA}_a}{\mathrm{SASA}_{\max}}
  • SASAa\mathrm{SASA}_a is the solvent-accessible surface area of atom aa
  • SASAmax\mathrm{SASA}_{\max} is a normalization constant (by default, the full surface area of a sulfur atom)
  • Natoms,GN_{\mathrm{atoms},G} is the number of atoms in the group GG

Parameters

FoldingOracle
required
The oracle to use for the energy term.
bool
default:"True"
If a new residue is added next to a residue included in this energy term, this dictates whether that new residue could then be added to this energy term.
list[Residue] | None
default:"None"
Which residues to include in the calculation. Considers all residues by default.
float | None
default:"None"
The VdW-radius of the solvent molecules used in the SASA calculation. Default is the water VdW-radius.
float | None
default:"None"
The maximum SASA value used if normalization is enabled. Default is the full surface area of a Sulfur atom.
float
default:"1.0"
str | None
default:"None"
Optional name to append to the energy term name.
