Figure 7.
Comparisons between numerical and analytical molecular surface areas of the heavy atoms of the crystal structures (1ctf and 1lz1, respectively) of the C-terminal domain of the ribosomal protein L7/L12 (74 aa) and human lysozyme (130 aa), and of four conformations each of the trp-cage, cdp-1, and fsd-1 miniproteins extracted from the corresponding explicit solvent MD trajectories of the same protein conformations as in Fig. 8. (A) Analytical molecular surface areas computed using the present model, and (B), for comparison, analytical surface areas computed using the original model from reference 42.
