5.8 Scan Pockets by 3D Pharmacophore
Next

This feature is described in this publication by Max Totrov BMC Bioinformatics 2011.

This binding site comparison algorithm utilizes optimal superposition of continuous pharmacophoric property distributions, this method offers high sensitivity in identifying both distantly homologous and convergent binding sites, demonstrating reliable superposition quality across multiple examples and enabling the effective clustering of ligand binding pockets in PDB.

To run:

A results table called SiteHits will be displayed ranking the top scoring PDBs that match the query pocket. The lower the Score value the better the match. Double click on the row and it will superimpose the matched structure onto the query.
