Table 2. Residue volumes for both amino acids and monosaccharides used by sluv2.py in SCT to calculate the macromolecular volumes used in constrained modelling (Perkins, 1986).

In the ‘classic’ output option, as well as the output of classic sluv, these residue volumes are labelled PER85. The non-agreement of the naming with the 1986 publication is maintained for historical reasons.
