Solvent-accesible surface area (SASA)

Parameter X-ray RF P3M
Total surface [A2] 4865.2 4947.4 5113.2
Polar surface [A2] 2996.1 3028.7 3244.1
[%] 61.6 61.1 63.4
Nonpolar surface [A2] 1869.2 1918.7 1869.1
[%] 38.4 39.0 36.6

Polar (O and N atoms), nonpolar (C atoms) and total (polar plus nonpolar) accessible area calculated as the sum of area for the corresponding atoms and its percentage. X-ray, crystallographic structure; RF and P3M, averaged values during the RF or P3M simulations (interval 500–2000 psec).
