The average pocket volume (in Å3), plus or minus the standard deviation, measured over the course of a REL1 trajectory using several pocket-analysis programs. Note that the POVME 1.0 results were, for all intents and purposes, identical to the POVME 2.0 results with the convex-hull feature disabled. Additionally, EPOSBP volume measurements are not included because that program does not output volume-per-frame data. The total run times for each program are given in minutes. A PCA calculation accounted for approximately 6 min of the PocketAnalyzerPCA run time (marked with an asterisk). As POVME 2.0 is designed to use multiple processors, the run times for parallel POVME 2.0 calculations are also shown.
