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.

PACUPP offers a number of simple commands specialized for visualizing cavities, mostly single letter commands. Some call up a dialog where the use enters information. Learning the PACUPP commands is much easier than learning Jmol commands.

PACUPP is a Jmol script. It processes 2/3 of the entries in the [[Protein Data Bank]] in ≤15 sec each. For large models such as ribosomes or proteasomes that may take many minutes, PACUPP offers an unattended batch mode.
