Full Documentation

Installation

pip install zsasa
# or
uv add zsasa

Optional Dependencies

pip install zsasa[gemmi]      # Gemmi integration
pip install zsasa[biopython]  # BioPython integration

Quick Start

import numpy as np
from zsasa import calculate_sasa

coords = np.array([[0.0, 0.0, 0.0], [3.0, 0.0, 0.0]])
radii = np.array([1.5, 1.5])
result = calculate_sasa(coords, radii)
print(f"Total SASA: {result.total_area:.2f} Ų")

# With structure file (gemmi)
from zsasa.integrations.gemmi import calculate_sasa_from_structure
result = calculate_sasa_from_structure("protein.cif")
print(f"Total: {result.total_area:.1f} Ų")
