VoroContacts: a tool for the analysis of interatomic contacts in macromolecular structures.

SUMMARY VoroContacts is a versatile tool for computing and analyzing contact surface areas (CSAs) and solvent accessible surface areas (SASAs) for 3 D structures of proteins, nucleic acids and their complexes at the atomic resolution. CSAs and SASAs are derived using Voronoi tessellation of 3 D structure, represented as a collection of atomic balls. VoroContacts web server features a highly configurable query interface, which enables on-the-fly analysis of contacts for selected set of atoms and allows filtering interatomic contacts by their type, surface areas, distance between contacting atoms and sequence separation between contacting residues. The VoroContacts functionality is also implemented as part of the standalone Voronota package, enabling batch processing. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION https://bioinformatics.lt/wtsam/vorocontacts.
