These include pockets located on protein surfaces and voids buried in the interior of proteins. The measurement includes the area and volume of pocket or void by solvent accessible surface model (Richards' surface) and by molecular surface model (Connolly's surface), all calculated analytically. CASTp can be used to study surface features and functional regions of proteins. CASTp includes a graphical user interface, flexible interactive visualization, as well as on-the-fly calculation for user uploaded structures. CASTp is updated daily and can be accessed at <a href="http://cast.engr.uic.edu/">http://cast.engr.uic.edu</a>.</p><p><a href="http://www.bigre.ulb.ac.be/Users/benoit/LigASite/index.php?home">LigASite</a>: <a href="http://www.bigre.ulb.ac.be/Users/benoit/LigASite/index.php?home">http://www.bigre.ulb.ac.be/Users/benoit/LigASite/index.php?home</a> is a gold-standard dataset of biologically relevant binding sites in protein structures. It consists of proteins with one unbound structure and at least one structure of the protein-ligand complex.

Quaternary structures proposed by PISA <a href="http://www.bigre.ulb.ac.be/Users/benoit/LigASite/index.php?references">(3)</a> are used for all structures in the dataset.</p><p><a href="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/pdbe-site/pdbemotif/">PDBeMotif</a>: <a href="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/pdbe-site/pdbemotif/">http://www.ebi.ac.uk/pdbe-site/pdbemotif/</a> is an extremely fast and powerful search tool that facilitates exploration of the Protein Data Bank (PDB) by combining protein sequence, chemical structure and 3D data in a single search. Currently it is the only tool that offers this kind of integration at this speed. PDBeMotif can be used to examine the characteristics of the binding sites of single proteins or classes of proteins such as Kinases and the conserved structural features of their immediate environments either within the same specie or across different species. For example, it can highlight a conserved activation loop common to protein kinases, which is important in regulating activity and is marked by conserved DFG and APE motifs at the start and end of the loop, respectively. The prediction of the effect of modifications to small molecules that bind to the active and/or regulatory sites of proteins on their efficacy can be based on the outcome of analytic work done using PDBeMotif.</p><p><em><a href="http://pocket.uchicago.edu/fpop/">fPOP</a></em>: <a href="http://pocket.uchicago.edu/fpop/">http://pocket.uchicago.edu/fpop/</a> (footprinting Pockets Of Proteins, http://pocket.uchicago.edu/fpop/) is a database of the protein functional surfaces identified by shape analysis. In this relational database, we collected the spatial patterns of protein binding sites including both holo and apo forms from more than 40,000 structures. To identify protein binding sites, we model the shape of a split pocket induced by a binding ligand(s). Essentially, we use a purely geometric method to extract site-specific spatial patterns of split pockets as templates to match those from unbound structures. To perform an effective shape comparison, we utilize the Smith-Waterman algorithm to footprint an unbound pocket fragment with those selected from the canonical functional surfaces of &gt;19,000 structures in the SplitPocket (http://pocket.uchicago.edu/). The pairwise alignment of the unbound and split-pocket fragments is superimposed to evaluate the local structural similarity for detecting the unbound split characteristic through the RMSD measurement. Furthermore, we conduct a large-scale computation to systematically identify binding sites of proteins. In addition to the geometric measurements, we extensively measure the propensity of surface conservation encapsulated in the evolutionary history.(<a href="http://pocket.uchicago.edu/fpop/intro.html" target="_blank">more</a>)</p><p><a href="http://metapocket.eml.org/">metaPocket</a>: <a href="http://metapocket.eml.org/">http://metapocket.eml.org/</a> &nbsp;is a meta server to identify pockets on protein surface to predict ligand-binding sites. The identification of ligand-binding sites is often the starting point for protein function annotation and structure-based drug design.

Here we present a consensus method metaPocket, in which the predicted sites from four methods: LIGSITE<em><sup>cs</sup></em>, PASS, Q-SiteFinder, and SURFNET are combined together to improve the prediction success rate. All these methods are evaluated on two datasets of 48 unbound/bound structures and 210 bound structures.

In the previous two CASP experiments, the most successful methods in the function prediction category were those which used structural superpositions of 3D models and related templates with bound ligands in order to identify putative contacting residues. However, whilst most of this prediction process can be automated, visual inspection and manual adjustments of parameters, such as the distance thresholds used for each target, have often been required to prevent over prediction. Here we describe a novel method FunFOLD, which uses an automatic approach for cluster identification and residue selection. The software provided can easily be integrated into existing fold recognition servers, requiring only a 3D model and list of templates as inputs. A simple web interface is also provided allowing access to non-expert users. The method has been benchmarked against the top servers and manual prediction groups tested at both CASP8 and CASP9.RESULTS: The FunFOLD method shows a significant improvement over the best available servers and is shown to be competitive with the top manual prediction groups that were tested at CASP8. The FunFOLD method is also competitive with both the top server and manual methods tested at CASP9. When tested using common subsets of targets, the predictions from FunFOLD are shown to achieve a significantly higher mean Matthews Correlation Coefficient (MCC) scores and Binding-site Distance Test (BDT) scores than all server methods that were tested at CASP8. Testing on the CASP9 set showed no statistically significant separation in performance between FunFOLD and the other top server groups tested. CONCLUSIONS: The FunFOLD software is freely available as both a standalone package and a prediction server, providing competitive ligand binding site residue predictions for expert and non-expert users alike. The software provides a new fully automated approach for structure based function prediction using 3D models of proteins.</p><p><a href="http://probis.cmm.ki.si/index.php">ProBiS</a>: <a href="http://probis.cmm.ki.si/index.php">http://probis.cmm.ki.si/index.php</a> &nbsp;algorithm for detection of structurally similar protein binding sites by local structural alignment. Motivation: Exploitation of locally similar 3D patterns of physicochemical properties on the surface of a protein for detection of binding sites that may lack sequence and global structural conservation. Results: An algorithm, ProBiS is described that detects structurally similar sites on protein surfaces by local surface structure alignment. It compares the query protein to members of a database of protein 3D structures and detects with sub-residue precision, structurally similar sites as patterns of physicochemical properties on the protein surface. Using an efficient maximum clique algorithm, the program identifies proteins that share local structural similarities with the query protein and generates structure-based alignments of these proteins with the query. Structural similarity scores are calculated for the query protein's surface residues, and are expressed as different colors on the query protein surface. The algorithm has been used successfully for the detection of protein&ndash;protein, protein&ndash;small ligand and protein&ndash;DNA binding sites.

Abstract: Computational methods for identifying and predicting functional sites in protein structures are increasingly becoming important in structural biology and bioinformatics not only for understanding the function of the molecule in detail but also for structure-based design of possible ligands and potential drugs as well as modified protein molecules. While there are a few structure based prediction methods already available, given the complexity and diversity of protein structural types, there is still a great need to explore newer methods and concepts to develop accurate, versatile and efficient binding site prediction algorithms. We have developed a new method PocketDepth, for identification of binding sites in proteins. The method is purely geometry-based and proceeds in two stages, labeling of grid cells with depth factors followed by a depth based clustering that uses neighbourhood information. Depth is an important parameter considered during protein structure visualization and analysis but has been used more often intuitively than systematically. Our current implementation of depth reflects how central a given sub-space is to a putative pocket rather than reflecting merely how far away it is situated from the nearest external surface of the protein. We have tested the algorithm against PDBbind, a large curated set of 1091 proteins obtained from PDB. A prediction was considered a true-positive if the predicted pocket had at-least 10% overlap with the actual ligand. The prediction accuracy using this set was about 96%. Moreover, 87% of the true-positives were identified within the first five ranks for each protein, of which 55% are in the first rank itself. 77% of the predictions had at least 50% overlap with the experimentally observed ligand. High prediction rates were again observed, when the method was tested against a data-set of apo-proteins and compared with their respective ligand complexes. A comparison of our method with four other widely used methods for a chosen representative set is also presented.</p><p><a href="http://strcomp.protein.osaka-u.ac.jp/ghecom/">GHECOM 1.0</a> : <a href="http://strcomp.protein.osaka-u.ac.jp/ghecom/">http://strcomp.protein.osaka-u.ac.jp/ghecom/</a>&nbsp; Grid-based HECOMi finder.

Numerous structure- and sequence-based methods have been developed for this problem. Here we introduce <em>ConCavity</em>, a small molecule binding site prediction algorithm that integrates evolutionary sequence conservation estimates with structure-based methods for identifying protein surface cavities. In large-scale testing on a diverse set of single- and multi-chain protein structures, we show that <em>ConCavity</em> substantially outperforms existing methods for identifying both 3D ligand binding pockets and individual ligand binding residues. As part of our testing, we perform one of the first direct comparisons of conservation-based and structure-based methods. We find that the two approaches provide largely complementary information, which can be combined to improve upon either approach alone. We also demonstrate that <em>ConCavity</em> has state-of-the-art performance in predicting catalytic sites and drug binding pockets. Overall, the algorithms and analysis presented here significantly improve our ability to identify ligand binding sites and further advance our understanding of the relationship between evolutionary sequence conservation and structural and functional attributes of proteins. Data, source code, and prediction visualizations are available on the <em>ConCavity</em> web site (<a href="http://compbio.cs.princeton.edu/concavity/">http://compbio.cs.princeton.edu/concavit​y/</a>).</p><p><a href="http://bioinfo3d.cs.tau.ac.il/MultiBind/index.html">MultiBind and MAPPIS</a>: <a href="http://bioinfo3d.cs.tau.ac.il/MultiBind/index.html">http://bioinfo3d.cs.tau.ac.il/MultiBind/index.html</a> Web servers for multiple alignment of protein 3D binding sites and their interactions. Analysis of protein&ndash;ligand complexes and recognition of spatially conserved physico-chemical properties is important for the prediction of binding and function. Here, we present two webservers for multiple alignment and recognition of binding patterns shared by a set of protein structures. The first webserver, MultiBind (<a href="http://bioinfo3d.cs.tau.ac.il/MultiBind">http://bioinfo3d.cs.tau.ac.il/MultiBind</a>), performs multiple alignment of protein binding sites. It recognizes the common spatial chemical binding patterns even in the absence of similarity of the sequences or the folds of the compared proteins. The input to the MultiBind server is a set of protein-binding sites defined by interactions with small molecules. The output is a detailed list of the shared physico-chemical binding site properties. The second webserver, MAPPIS (<a href="http://bioinfo3d.cs.tau.ac.il/MAPPIS">http://bioinfo3d.cs.tau.ac.il/MAPPIS</a>), aims to analyze protein&ndash;protein interactions. It performs multiple alignment of protein&ndash;protein interfaces (PPIs), which are regions of interaction between two protein molecules. MAPPIS recognizes the spatially conserved physico-chemical interactions, which often involve energetically important hot-spot residues that are crucial for protein&ndash;protein associations. The input to the MAPPIS server is a set of protein-protein complexes. The output is a detailed list of the shared interaction properties of the interfaces.</p><p><a href="http://bioinfo3d.cs.tau.ac.il/MolAxis/">MolAxis</a>: <a href="http://bioinfo3d.cs.tau.ac.il/MolAxis/">http://bioinfo3d.cs.tau.ac.il/MolAxis/</a>&nbsp; is a tool for the identification of high clearance pathways or <em>corridors</em> which represent molecular channels in the complement space of proteins. It is extremely efficient because it samples the medial axis of the complement of the molecule, reducing the problem dimension to two, since the medial axis is composed of surface patches. It is designed to analyze proteins channels, calculate pore dimensions and analyze atom accessibility. MolAxis reads files in the standard Protein Data Bank format (PDB) containing a single frame or multiple frames generated by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. MolAxis handles two distinct scenarios: It computes channels that connect a single point (like an inner chamber) to the bulk solvent, and it also computes transmembrane (TM) channels. MolAxis has a friendly web interface (see the <a href="http://bioinfo3d.cs.tau.ac.il/MolAxis/server_channel.html" target="body">Web Server</a> tab). It also has a stand-alone version, statically compiled for linux, which can be downloaded from the <a href="http://bioinfo3d.cs.tau.ac.il/cgi-bin/pdownload/progdownload.pl/?pname=MolAxis" target="body">Download</a> tab.</p><p><a href="http://fpocket.sourceforge.net/">fpocket</a>: <a href="http://fpocket.sourceforge.net/">http://fpocket.sourceforge.net/</a> fpocket is a very fast open source protein pocket (cavity) detection algorithm based on Voronoi tessellation. It was developed in the C programming language and is currently available as command line driven program. A GUI is in development and mdpocket (fpocket on md trajectories) is out now. fpocket includes two other programs (dpocket &amp; tpocket) that allow you to extract pocket descriptors and test own scoring functions respectively. Furthermore a nifty druggability prediction score has been added to fpocket recently. As the algorithm is very fast it can be used on a large scale level (PDB size for instance). If you use fpocket for publication, please cite : <em>Vincent Le Guilloux, Peter Schmidtke and Pierre Tuffery</em>, "Fpocket: An open source platform for ligand pocket detection", BMC Bioinformatics, 2009, 10:168</p><p><a href="http://sumo-pbil.ibcp.fr/cgi-bin/sumo-welcome">SuMo</a>: <a href="http://sumo-pbil.ibcp.fr/cgi-bin/sumo-welcome">http://sumo-pbil.ibcp.fr/cgi-bin/sumo-welcome</a> allows you to screen the <a href="http://www.rcsb.org/" target="_blank">Protein Data Bank</a> (PDB) for finding ligand binding sites matching your protein structure or inversely, for finding protein structures matching a given site in your protein. This method is neither based on aminoacid sequence nor on fold comparisons. Priority is given to biological relevance. SuMo uses its own heuristics for defining ligand binding sites. Automatically selected ligand binding sites are extracted from PDB structure files and stored into <a href="http://sumo-pbil.ibcp.fr/cgi-bin/sumo-database">SuMo's own database</a>.</p><p><a href="http://www.caver.cz/">CAVER</a>: <a href="http://www.caver.cz/">http://www.caver.cz/</a> CAVER is a software tool for analysis and visualization of tunnels and channels in protein structures. Tunnels are void pathways leading from a cavity buried in a protein core to the surrounding solvent. Unlike tunnels, channels lead through the protein structure and their both endings are opened to the surrounding solvent. Studying of these pathways is highly important for drug design and molecular enzymology.</p><p><a href="http://scbx.mssm.edu/sitehound/sitehound-download/download.html">SiteHound</a>: <a href="http://scbx.mssm.edu/sitehound/sitehound-download/download.html">http://scbx.mssm.edu/sitehound/sitehound-download/download.html</a> SiteHound identifies protein regions that are likely to interact with ligands.&nbsp;The only input files required by SITEHOUND are the PDB file of the protein and the Molecular Interaction Field (MIFs) or Affinity Map for that protein structure structure. EasyMIFs is provided as a tool to calculate MIFs, alternatively AutoGrid (part of the AutoDock suite developed by Arthur Olson&rsquo;s group at The Scripps Research Insitute) or the SiteHound-web server can be used to produce Affinity maps or MIFs. A python script named 'auto.py' is provided in the package and can be used to perform binding site identification in a fully automated fashion. The script will prepare the protein PDB file, compute a Molecular Interaction Fields map with EasyMIFs and carry out binding site identification using SiteHound.&nbsp;It is also possible to use EasyMIFs and SiteHound separately.</p><p><a href="http://www.biochem.ucl.ac.uk/%7Eroman/surfnet/surfnet.html">SURFNET</a>: <a href="http://www.biochem.ucl.ac.uk/%7Eroman/surfnet/surfnet.html">http://www.biochem.ucl.ac.uk/~roman/surfnet/surfnet.html</a> The SURFNET program generates surfaces and void regions between surfaces from coordinate data supplied in a PDB file.</p><p><a href="http://appserver.biotec.tu-dresden.de/MSPocket/">MSPocket</a>: <a href="http://appserver.biotec.tu-dresden.de/MSPocket/">http://appserver.biotec.tu-dresden.de/MSPocket/</a> is an orientation independent program for the detection and graphical analysis of protein surface pockets [Zhu2011].

It uses an algorithm that makes it possible to detect even certain types of cavities that are connected to "the outside world". Three different types of cavity can be handled by VOIDOO: Vanderwaals cavities (the complement of the molecular Vanderwaals surface), probe-accessible cavities (the cavity volume that can be occupied by the centres of probe atoms) and MS-like probe-occupied cavities (the volume that can be occupied by probe atoms, <em>i.e.</em> including their radii).</p><p><a href="http://gecco.org.chemie.uni-frankfurt.de/pocketpicker/index.html">PocketPicker</a>: <a href="http://gecco.org.chemie.uni-frankfurt.de/pocketpicker/index.html">http://gecco.org.chemie.uni-frankfurt.de/pocketpicker/index.html</a> Background: Identification and evaluation of surface binding-pockets and occluded cavities are initial steps in protein structure-based drug design. Characterizing the active site's shape as well as the distribution of surrounding residues plays an important role for a variety of applications such as automated ligand docking or <em>in situ </em>modeling. Comparing the shape similarity of binding site geometries of related proteins provides further insights into the mechanisms of ligand binding. Results: We present PocketPicker, an automated grid-based technique for the prediction of protein binding pockets that specifies the shape of a potential binding-site with regard to its buriedness. The method was applied to a representative set of protein-ligand complexes and their corresponding <em>apo</em>-protein structures to evaluate the quality of binding-site predictions. The performance of the pocket detection routine was compared to results achieved with the existing methods CAST, LIGSITE, LIGSITE<sup>cs</sup>, PASS and SURFNET. Success rates PocketPicker were comparable to those of LIGSITE<sup>cs </sup>and outperformed the other tools. We introduce a descriptor that translates the arrangement of grid points delineating a detected binding-site into a correlation vector. We show that this shape descriptor is suited for comparative analyses of similar binding-site geometry by examining induced-fit phenomena in aldose reductase. This new method uses information derived from calculations of the buriedness of potential binding-sites. Conclusion: The pocket prediction routine of PocketPicker is a useful tool for identification of potential protein binding-pockets. It produces a convenient representation of binding-site shapes including an intuitive description of their accessibility. The shape-descriptor for automated classification of binding-site geometries can be used as an additional tool complementing elaborate manual inspections.</p><p><a href="http://www.bisb.uni-bayreuth.de/index.php?page=data/mcvol/mcvol">McVol</a>: <a href="http://www.bisb.uni-bayreuth.de/index.php?page=data/mcvol/mcvol">http://www.bisb.uni-bayreuth.de/index.php?page=data/mcvol/mcvol</a>&nbsp; This program was developed to integrate the molecular volume, solven accessible volume an Van der Waals volume of proteins using a Monte carlo algorithm.

	<title><![CDATA[Monitor running jobs on Linux server]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>You as a bioinformatican run lots of program on your servers. Sometime the shared server is also used by your colleague. If server is busy you sometime need to check the running programs and want to monitor the running programs as well. The "top" command will come in handy when you need to find out if things are still running, how long they&rsquo;ve been running, or how much memory is being used.<br /><br />&lsquo;top&rsquo; is very simple to run: type<br /><br />%% top<br /><br />You&rsquo;ll get a screen that looks like this, and is updated regularly:<br /><br /><img src="http://bioinformaticsonline.com/mod/photo/top.png" width="659" height="582" alt="image" style="border: 0px;"><br />Simple, right? Heh.<br /><br />First! Note that you can use &lsquo;q&rsquo; or &lsquo;CTRL-C&rsquo; to exit from &lsquo;top&rsquo;.<br /><br />Now let&rsquo;s read and understand at each line independently.<br /><br />The first line:<br /><br />top - 23:00:48 up 39 days,&nbsp; 2 user,&nbsp; load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00<br /><br />The first line tells you the current time, how long the machine has been up, how many users are logged in, and the short/medium/long-term compute load on the machine. If you run something for a long time, you&rsquo;ll see these numbers go up. Right now, the machine is basically just sitting there, so these are all close to 0.<br /><br />The second line:</p><p>Tasks:&nbsp; 239 total,&nbsp;&nbsp; 1 running,&nbsp; 238 sleeping,&nbsp;&nbsp; 0 stopped,&nbsp;&nbsp; 0 zombie<br /><br />This line tells you how many processes are running. If you are using laptops machines it&rsquo;s not so interesting because you really are the only one using this machine.<br /><br />Cpu(s):&nbsp; 0.0%us,&nbsp; 0.0%sy,&nbsp; 0.0%ni,100.0%id,&nbsp; 0.0%wa,&nbsp; 0.0%hi,&nbsp; 0.0%si,&nbsp; 0.0%st<br /><br />This line contains the CPU load. The first two numbers are how busy the system is doing computation (&ldquo;us&rdquo; stands for &ldquo;user&rdquo;) and how busy the system is doing system-y things like accessing disks or network (&ldquo;sy&rdquo; stands for &ldquo;system&rdquo;). We&rsquo;ll talk more about this later.<br /><br />Mem:&nbsp;&nbsp; 49457320k total,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 3492174k used,&nbsp; 14535596k free,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1435148k buffers<br /><br />This should be easy to understand &ndash; how much memory you&rsquo;re using! <br /><br />Swap:&nbsp;&nbsp; 539356k total,&nbsp;&nbsp; 28332k used,&nbsp;&nbsp; 836562k free,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 29862014k cached<br /><br />Swap is just on-disk memory that can be used to &ldquo;swap&rdquo; out programs from main memory. Again, we&rsquo;ll talk about this later.:<br /><br />PID USER&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; PR&nbsp; NI&nbsp; VIRT&nbsp; RES&nbsp; SHR S %CPU %MEM&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; TIME+&nbsp; COMMAND<br />&nbsp; 1 root&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 39 &nbsp; 19&nbsp; 0&nbsp; 0&nbsp; 0 S&nbsp; 0.0&nbsp; 0.0&nbsp;&nbsp; 246:57.22 kipmi0<br />&nbsp; 2 root&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; RT&nbsp;&nbsp; 0&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 0&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 0&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 0 S&nbsp; 0.0&nbsp; 0.0&nbsp;&nbsp; 0:00.00 migration/0<br /><br />And... finally! What&rsquo;s actually running! The two most important numbers are the %CPU and %MEM towards the right, as well as the COMMAND. This tells you how compute- and memory-intensive your program is. Right now, nothing&rsquo;s running so the numbers aren&rsquo;t very interesting, but just wait until we run something...</p>]]></description>
