It would probably be advantageous for you to visualise the sas using
something like Surf representation in VMD. That will clearly show
you why it is so large (it is the surface accessible to solvent and since
the molecules are bumpy, then it is significantly larger than the x-y
cross sectional area of the molecule).<br><br>
