Knowing the location of the binding site before docking processes significantly increases the
docking efficiency. In many cases, the binding site is indeed known before docking ligands
into it. Also, one can obtain information about the sites by comparison of the target protein
with a family of proteins sharing a similar function or with proteins co-crystallized with
other ligands. In the absence of knowledge about the binding sites, cavity detection
programs or online servers, e.g. GRID[20, 21], POCKET [22], SurfNet [23, 24], PASS [25]
and MMC [26] can be utilized to identify putative active sites within proteins. Docking
without any assumption about the binding site is called blind docking.
