Figure 2. Comparison between the representation of atom-based properties, i.e., charges (left column; red = negative, blue = positive), atomic hydrophobicity (middle column; red = hydrophobic and blue = hydrophilic region); with amino acid-based properties, i.e., amino acid-based hydrophobicity (right column) on the molecular surface of ribonuclease (PDB ID: 1AFU).

The molecular surface is probed with decreasing geometrical resolution (from top to bottom).
