Cavities are identified as spaces between macromolecule atoms large enough to accomodate a ''cavity probe'' (default cavity probe radius 1.5 Å, configurable), or pockets between a smoothed macromolecular surface (default surface probe radius 10 Å, configurable) and atoms of the macromolecule. Starting point(s) are not relevant. 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. | ||
PACUPP offers a number of [http://molviz.org/pacupp/commands-alphabetical.pdf simple commands specialized for visualizing cavities], mostly single letter commands. Some call up a dialog where the use enters information. Lists cavity-lining atoms in a spreadsheet-ready text file. Learning the PACUPP commands is much easier than learning Jmol commands. | PACUPP offers a number of [http://molviz.org/pacupp/commands-alphabetical.pdf simple commands specialized for visualizing cavities], mostly single letter commands.
