Didactic representation of KVFinder algorithm. A) Two dimensional representation of a protein cavity inserted in a grid. Orange points represent the area occupied by the protein, gray points stand for empty space. B) The blue Probe In rolling around the protein. C) After the Probe In prospects the protein, all grid points overlapped by the probe are marked in blue. D) The Probe Out (yellow) also prospects the protein. E) Points overlapped by the Probe Out are marked in yellow. F) The Cavity is defined as the difference between points explored by the two probes.
