Hi,
I would like to find the relative ASA of residues in percentage. I used naccess to find it. The output of naccess(.rsa file) is shown below.
REM Relative accessibilites read from external file "standard.data"
REM File of summed (Sum) and % (per.) accessibilities for
REM RES _ NUM All-atoms Total-Side Main-Chain Non-polar All polar
REM ABS REL ABS REL ABS REL ABS REL ABS REL
RES ILE A 189 186.83 106.7 142.62 103.4 44.21 119.0 142.62 102.5 44.21 122.9
RES ALA A 190 110.69 102.5 76.79 110.6 33.89 87.9 77.24 108.2 33.45 91.4
RES LYS A 191 177.09 88.2 158.77 97.2 18.33 48.9 111.91 96.0 65.18 77.4
RES GLU A 193 82.74 48.0 80.51 59.8 2.23 5.9 43.73 72.5 39.01 34.8
RES THR A 197 152.77 109.7 97.50 95.9 55.27 147.1 98.21 129.7 54.56 85.9
I think, column name "REL" represents the percentage of relative accessible surface area. I would like to know whether my opinion correct or not... I would also like to know, which cut off value is suitable to retrieve interface and surface residues??
Your suggestions would be appreciated!!
Thank you for your explanation.
