Pockets and voids in proteins. There are three types of unfilled space on protein surfaces. Voids are fully enclosed and have no outlet, pockets are accessible from the outside but with constriction at mouths, and shallow depressions have wide openings. We use the general term surface pockets to include both pockets and voids (Adapted from [13]).
