Re: [AMBER] Error with 'surf' and acetonitrile-water solvent mixture

   Hi,

   thank you very much for your advice! Indeed, after stripping the atoms that
   are not calculated, it worked and I obtained a realistic result (from 13500
   to 16900).
   I'll also consider using the 'molsurf' command.

   Thanks!

   PS - You can also try the 'molsurf' command, which uses a better
   procedure for the surface area calculation.
