Cavities on the Surfaces of Macromolecules

We present an approach to define and extract the cavities on the surfaces of macromolecules. Each cavity is represented by a triangular mesh enclosing a depression on a molecule such as a protein and a DNA. These surface patches would facilitate the study of ligand docking problem and similarity matching of proteins.
