I am working on protein docking. I want to extract the coordinates of the surface atoms i.e coordinates of the atoms on the accessible surface area. I want to use python coding only and I dont want to rely on any other software.

Can anyone please guide me about the approach? Does Biopython have tools for this?

Biopython module for DSSP seems to do that http://biopython.org/DIST/docs/api/Bio.PDB.DSSP%27-module.html

I dont think that it deals with the coordinates of surface atoms.

If you could convince yourself to use JAVA and jmol, then you may find this of use: http://jmol.sourceforge.net/docs/surface/
