Hello,

I am working on a virus capsid and trying to figure out the buried surface area between subunits (similar to what ViperDB has. I have to do this for a few capsids and I am trying to automate this to the maximum possible extent. I have been able to follow the steps in this link Buried surface area calculation and manually calculate the information. Are there commands available to do the same? 

Also, what is the difference between the surfaces created using a multiscale model and surfaces computed from the atom-spec? Would this difference in the surface affect the calculation of the buried surface area? And if it does affect it which one be a more accurate representation? 

Thank you
