Hi Alex, I wrote a python script called surfvert.py that writes molecular surface vertices and nearest residues to a text file. It is on the Chimera Python script web page. http://socrates2.cgl.ucsf.edu/trac/chimera/wiki/Scripts Tom -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [chimera-dev] Surface Vertices From: Alex Gawronski Date: 7/26/09 11:37 AM

Hello,

I would like to write to file all the vertices of the surface of a protein corresponding to each residue. Currently I'm exporting a mesh file of the surface fragments but this requires a lot of disk space and would probably be slower then simply writing the vertex list to file. Is there a way to do this using a python script?

Thanks, Alex Gawronski
