Predicting surface properties of proteins on the Connolly molecular surface

A novel approach has been developed to obtain surface properties of a protein to give a better interpretation of the surface related phenomena, in particular protein attachment on polymer surface. This is achieved by extending the concept of molecular surface to find out relevant surface characteristics determining the interaction behaviour. The Connolly molecular surface is useful in the modelling and computation of surface properties, which could be of fundamental importance to surface-based protein science and engineering. A methodology for obtaining electron charge, hydrophobicity as well as α-helix and β-sheet structural indices has been developed.
