when I use probe_radius 1.40, the result is
ANALYTICAL SURFACE AREA :
Comp. probe_radius, reent, toric, contact SES SAS
0 1.400 1.834 23.714 58.271 83.818 203.611
..........
NUMERICAL VOLUMES AND AREA
Comp. probe_radius SES_volume SES_area)
0 1.40 56.304 77.388
Total ses_volume: 56.304
MSMS terminated normally
which number should be taken for SA*0.00542+0.92 calculation, 77.388 or 83.818 ???
I think the former is closer to value 78.269 given by Molsurf in MMPBSA/AMBER.

what kind of surface are used for SA*0.00542 + 0.92 calculation by Molsurf in MMPBSA/AMBER?
