Re: [PyMOL] Molecular surface area

[Thomas H. <tho...@sc...>]

Hi Andreas,

dot_solvent=0 is solvent excluded surface, also known as molecular surface or Connolly surface. PyMOL approximates it numerically by sampling points on the surface

See: https://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Get_Area#Settings

Cheers,
  Thomas
