X Abstract

Surface area of a macromolecule, accessible to a solvent, is defined and calculated, taking into account the probabilistic character of atomic positions due to the high frequency atomic vibrations. For a given a space point, we consider a probability of the event, that this point is covered by a macromolecule. A volume is defined as a space integral of this probability field. The envelope, accessible to a solvent molecule center, becomes fuzzy, existing only in a probabilistic sense. The accessible area is defined as a derivative of the envelope volume with respect to the probe size.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
