That won't work. A probe with infinite radius will give the convex volume of the peptide, not the volume that is desired. You could change the atomic radii to get the volume. There is also another way, which is not completely trivial. Yet it lies along the lines of a tool I have, which could be modified to suit the need. If you're interested, you can contact me off list for more information. Cheers, Tsjerk -- Tsjerk A.
