Quite often a biomolecular researcher wants to quickly calculate solvent accessible surface area or solvation energy of a protein molecule. GETAREA can be directly accessed through this form. An on-line manual is available. Atomic coordinates should be supplied in PDB format. Please cite reference [1] in publications that use our service. Comments: [email protected], [email protected].

If using a batch file, use a delay of 10 sec.

Advanced Options: Atomic radii and solvation parameters
Advanced Options: Default library for protein atom types

Using multiple pdb files

Download Getarea_Remote.pl to submit multiple PDB files. Use a delay of 10 sec for batch processing.
