[ccp4bb] Is there a gold standard binding-site hydrophobicity score?

Dear list, Is there a way that for a binding site (defined as the protein surface atoms N Angstroms around a ligand molecule) we can assign a (preferably normalized) hydrophobicity score to the binding site? - I would prefer something that I can run offline rather than a webserver (but a we

You do use Coot and look at the density plots right ? Phenix will essentially do the same but in text form (unless you use the GUI). You can also do this with Solve/Resolve and you can write your own script with CCP4 available tools to do the same RSR fit diagram. Jürgen On Oct 31, 2013, at 11:4
