[Chimera-users] Surface charge density!

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Alina,

  By surface charge density do you mean the total charge on surface residues divided by the total surface area?  Or do you want local charge density, like just the outside face of the capsid?  Those could probably computed in Chimera. How will you use this value?

I did a representation of the electrostatic potential in Chimera with the option “Coulombic Surface Coloring” for a hexamer, for example. The unit of this potential are in Kcal/mol*e and the surface is colored in a range of values -10 to 10 Kcal/mol*e.
