Based on the findSurfaceResidues script, the findSurfaceResiduesListCharged script will select and color surface residues and atoms on an object or selection. The function will also identify and output a list of all charged residues on the surface of a selection. This additionally calculates the ionization state of a protein at a given pH.
Each time, the script will create two new selections called, exposed_res_XYZ and exposed_atm_XYZ where XYZ is some random number. This is done so that no other selections/objects are overwritten.
Usage
findSurfaceResiduesListCharged [pH=7.0 [, selection=all [, cutoff=2.5 [, doShow=0 ]]]
Arguments
- pH = float: The pH to calculate the surface charge at {default: 7.0}
- selection = str: The object or selection for which to find exposed residues {default: all}
- cutoff = float: The cutoff in square Angstroms that defines exposed or not. Those atoms with > cutoff Ang^2 exposed will be considered exposed {default: 2.5 Ang^2}
- doShow = 0/1: Change the visualization to highlight the exposed residues vs interior {default: 0}
