FreeSASA FFI

This crate provides raw FFI bindings to the freesasa C library, developed by Simon Mittinatten [1]. FreeSASA allows you to calculate the solvent accessible surface area (SASA) of a protein from its atomic coordinates. The library is written in C, and is available under the MIT license.

The bindings in this crate are automatically generated by bindgen. Since this crate provides raw access to a C-library, it is on the user to ensure that memory safety is maintained.

For most uses it is recommended to use the RustSASA crate (which is currently not publicly available). RustSASA aims to provide a safe idiomatic way of working with freesasa from within Rust.

Please contact me via email, ow257@cam.ac.uk, if you are interested in access to RustSASA.
