Methods summary

v0.2 detects cavities on the predicted 3D structure using RNA-tuned fpocket parameters (consistent with the published fpocketR approach, Veenbaas et al. PNAS 2025), samples a 5-frame ANM conformational ensemble, and ranks pockets by structural persistence weighted by binding-residue stability (score = persistence × n_residues_intersected). The cross-frame geometric ranker is the load-bearing contribution: on a 7-target cleft-binder benchmark, RNA-tuned detection alone recovers 0 of 7 at strict@1; the ensemble + ranker lifts recovery to 3 of 7 strict@1 and 6 of 7 near@1. Druggability assessment itself is left to your medicinal-chemistry workflow; we provide the geometric metadata and conformational stability metrics as inputs to it. Computational predictions only — experimental validation is required before use in drug development.

Binding-mode caveat

Pipeline detects cleft-shaped binding pockets. Groove-binding modes and shallow surface-deformation binding may be missed. Contact us if your target's binding mode is groove-mediated.
