From: A simple method for finding a protein’s ligand-binding pockets
The steps of the algorithm illustrated (in 2D for clarity) using the PDB:1ABT structure. The red dots represent empty voxels and the blue dots are voxels containing protein atoms. The atom positions have been averaged on the z-axis. (a) A convex hull enclosing the protein atoms is generated. (b) A line (a triangle in 3D) on the surface of the hull is selected. Inside of convex hull part of a given pocket is shown.
