rust-sasa-python
rust-sasa-python is a Python library for computing SASA (Solvent Accessible Surface Area) far faster than biopython and other packages.
See RustSasa for more info.
Features:
- 🦀 Backend written in Pure Rust
- ⚡️ 3X Faster than Biopython and ~120% faster than Freesasa
- 🐍 Quick drop-in replacement for Biopython
Usage
You can now utilize RustSasa within Python to speed up your scripts! Take a look at rust-sasa-python!
Installation:
pip install rust-sasa-python
Example:
from rust_sasa_python import calculate_sasa_at_residue_level
residue_sasa_values = calculate_sasa_at_residue_level("path_to_pdb_file.pdb")
