Introduction
This chapter presents an analysis of the various models implemented by software
packages which enable computerized identification of ligand binding sites.
In general, two distinct classes of models can be defined: those which rely on
geometric analysis of binding pockets (CASTp, Q-Site-Finder, Pocket-Finder) and
those based on knowledge mining (SuMo, ConSurf and the “fuzzy oil drop” model).
