Abstract
The US‐SOMO suite provides a flexible interface for accurately computing solution parameters from 3D structures of biomacromolecules through bead‐modeling approaches. We present an extended analysis of the influence of accessible surface area screening, overlap reduction routines, and approximations for non‐coded residues and missing atoms on the computed parameters for models built by the residue‐to‐bead direct correspondence and the cubic grid methods. Importantly, by taking the theoretical hydration into account at the atomic level, the performance of the grid‐type models becomes comparable or exceeds that of the corresponding hydrated residue‐to‐bead models.
