Dear Chimera developers, I’m working on a protein complex and I’d like to analyse the SASA and hydrophobicity on the surface. I have worked with Chimera before so I know how to do those basic tasks for a monomeric protein; however, since I have five monomers interacting together I was wondering how to calculate the SASA (and later showing the hydrophobic residues of the surface) excluding the monomer-monomer interfacial regions. I would also need those values tabulated to show hydrophobicity vs primary sequence but still excluding the monomer-monomer interfaces! It seems like there is no basic tool to do that (or am I missing something?); is there any procedure I could apply? Unfortunately I can’t code in Python so I’m looking for a solution that involves using the GUI. Thank you, Best regards, Alessandro Strofaldi, PhD University of Bristol
