PACUPP, '''P'''ockets '''A'''nd '''C'''avities '''U'''sing '''P'''seudoatoms in '''P'''roteins, identifies cavities by filling them with pseudoatoms (holmium, Ho, think "holes"). An example is presented in some detail at [[PACUPP: Pockets And Cavities Using Pseudoatoms in Proteins]]. Further examples with demonstrations of how to use PACUPP are in a YouTube video and a slideshow, available from [http://molviz.org/pacupp molviz.org/pacupp], where you can also download the program.
