Dear Crystallogrpahers,
thanks for all of the responses to this perennial crystallographic
question (is my crystallogrpahic assembly biologically-relevent).
Summarized, they were:
Joel Janin's work, particularly:
--Acta Cryst 2007,
--The atomic structure of protein-protein recognition sites. Lo

Dear Jacob,
I do not have exactly what you are asking about but some clues.
I am not fond of using buried surface area as an indicator of anything in
particular and always use energy estimates, however unreliable they may be. In
J.Comp.Chem. 31(1),133-143, I put a probability plot for PISA to g
