A Server for Virus Structure & Assembly Analysis Association Energies, Residuewise contributions, Assembly Pathways
and Quasi-equivalent contacts

Methodology:
The free energies of association are calculated based on the simple method
of estimating the
buried accessible surface area times the atomic solvation parameters. These association energies are used to calculate likely pathways of virus/protein assemblies.
