Jmol/Depth from surface

The atom property surfacedistance in Molecular Scene Authoring Tools is each atom's distance from the surface of the macromolecule. The units of surfacedistance are Ångstroms. You can select atoms by distance from the surface, and report the average, minimum, or maximum surfacedistance of a group of atoms. Atoms, cavity/pocket/tunnel isosurfaces, and other objects can be colored by distance from the surface.

The commands are simply select all color surfacedistance In Proteopedia's Molecular Scene Authoring Tools (SAT), you can enter these commands in the slot below the molecule. There will be a delay (about 20 sec on my computer) while JSmol calculates the surfacedisance for each atom. However, once the scene is saved as a green link, the colors are saved and displayed without re-calculation when the green link is clicked. The default color scheme for surfacedistance is red-white-blue, "rwb" in Jmol command language. You can apply other color schemes, such as the spectral color scheme red-orange-yellow-green-blue ("roygb").
