4 Free Online Tools for Active Site Prediction 

Pocket finder, an online tool, uses energy-based calculations to find the ligandbinding regions. The interface of the server is shown in Fig. 5.13. It follows the LIGSITE algorithm [16]. We can either give the PDB ID or browse the protein of 

Q-SiteFinder [17], another tool, is similar to the pocket finder but the prediction accuracy is greater for Q-SiteFinder [18]. The tool has a simple interface. We can directly give PDB ID in the box or we can browse the protein of interest. Clicking on submit will give the result of top ten sites in a few seconds (Fig. 5.18). 

We can see the results in the same page. Jmol [ 19] needs to be installed in the host computer to visualize the protein. The result page has different boxes (Fig. 5.19).
