Welcom to the SA2py (Solvent-Accessible Surface Area in Python) documentation

SA2py is a python program to calculate the Solvent-Accessible Surface Area (SASA) of a protein.
The result is the area in square Angstroms for each atom and for the protein.
This program is devide in three scripts python :
- main.py, to run the program
- sasa.py, with all functions to compute the SASA
- sasa_stat.py, with all functions to build statisticals graphs or pymol files

The implementation is based on the method presented in the article :
Environment and Exposure to Solvent of Protein Atoms. Lysozyme and Insulin by A.Shrake and J A Rupley
