Hi Dr. Warren! I know about MSMS license. Indeed, I'm suggesting an approach similar to what VMD did, i.e., it can link, run and catch results to plot, all that as a option conditioned to one gets or not MSMS installed, separately, in one's machine. Sanner had done and released a

Alan, Last I checked, MSMS was saddled with a number of constraints on its usage and redistribution. Though source code can be obtained under certain conditions, MSMS doesn't meet the minimal "open-source" software requirements that would make it eligible for inclusion into PyMOL. I talked with

Hi List! Dear Dr. Warren, have you consider using MSMS to generate surface in Pymol, as VMD already does? Since MSMS can generate a list too, by using another programs, I could calculate properties to each point in the mesh. So, I wonder, applying a colour method linked to such p

Kaushik, Good questions. (1) PyMOL doesn't show the solvent accessible surface, rather it shows the solvent/protein contact surface. The solvent accessible surface area is usually defined as the surface traced out by the center of a water sphere, having a radius of about 1.4 angstroms
