Nearly all proteins have shallow pockets, mostly with no known functions. Some proteins have deep pockets, for example the catalytic anionic gorge in acetylcholinesterase (e. g. [[1vot]]). Such a pocket can also be termed a tunnel accessing the catalytic site. | Nearly all proteins have shallow pockets, mostly with no known functions.
