Abstract:Research of protein is pivotal to the drug discovery, since most of the drugs act upon proteins inside human body.Drugs act when they are close to the concave portions, so called "pockets", of the protein surfaces. Therefore, detection and analysis of the pockets are also important for the drug discovery. This paper presents a fast method with pocket extraction and evaluation technique for the protein surfaces. When the protein surfaces are provided as triangular meshes, the method first applies mesh simplific… Show more
