How to Use Radius of Gyration Calculator
Commercially Available Online Web Server
Calculate protein radius of gyration for all chains or a selected chain group.
Radius of gyration summarizes how far a structure's atoms lie from a reference center and is commonly used as a compactness measure. Neurosnap calculates it for a single uploaded protein structure, optionally restricted to named chains.
By default, the reference is the selected atoms' center of mass. Researchers can instead provide an explicit x,y,z center in angstroms, which is useful when comparing a selected chain against a fixed position in a larger complex.
How Radius of Gyration Calculator Works
The service calls the Neurosnap SDK's calculate_rog method. It computes the square root of the mean squared distance from the selected atoms to the chosen center, returning a value in angstroms. If no center is entered, the SDK first calculates the selected atoms' center of mass.
The output includes the radius of gyration, selected chain IDs, atom count, center mode, and center coordinates. A custom center changes the meaning of the result: it measures spread around that point rather than intrinsic compactness around the selected atoms' center of mass. Compare values only when structures, chain selections, and center conventions are comparable.
What is Neurosnap?
Neurosnap is the leading platform for bioinformatics and computational science focused on expanding access to powerful modeling and simulation tools. Because many state-of-the-art machine learning systems remain complex to install, configure, and scale, Neurosnap offers a clean, browser-based workspace that removes the burden of infrastructure management, dependency conflicts, and command-line tooling.
Built for biologists, chemists, and cross-disciplinary scientists, the platform enables advanced computational workflows without requiring expertise in software engineering or cloud architecture. Researchers can launch analyses through an intuitive interface, connect programmatically through a comprehensive API, and rely on automated resource management to scale workloads efficiently. By taking care of the underlying compute and operational complexity, Neurosnap allows teams to devote their energy to scientific progress and faster iteration. Security and data protection remain foundational principles, with clear safeguards outlined in our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy to ensure your work stays protected.
