ChimeraX has a 100% reliable calculation of solvent accessible area and surfaces. But ChimeraX does not compute solvent excluded area, although you could get that from the surface calculations in ChimeraX I guess.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""> I work on ChimeraX and could help with Python code to export values.
