SiteHound uses Molecular Interaction Fields (MIFs) produced by EasyMIFs to identify protein structure regions that show a high propensity for interaction with ligands. The type of binding site identified depends on the probe atom used in the MIF calculation. The input to EasyMIFs is a PDB file of a protein structure; the output MIF serves as input to SiteHound, which in turn produces a list of putative binding sites. Extensive testing of SiteHound for the detection of binding sites for drug-like molecules and phosphorylated ligands has been carried out.
EasyMIFs and SiteHound executables for Linux, Mac OS X, and MS Windows operating systems are freely available for download from http://sitehound.sanchezlab.org/download.html.

SiteHound 使用由 EasyMIFs 生成的分子相互作用场 (MIF) 来识别显示出与配体高度相互作用倾向的蛋白质结构区域。所识别的结合位点的类型取决于 MIF 计算中使用的探针原子。EasyMIFs 的输入是蛋白质结构的 PDB 文件;输出的 MIF 作为 SiteHound 的输入,SiteHound 反过来生成一个可能的结合位点列表。已经对 SiteHound 进行了广泛的测试,以检测类似药物分子和磷酸化配体的结合位点。
