Proper Citation: HOLLOW (RRID:SCR_005729)
Description: HOLLOW facilitates the production of surface images of proteins. HOLLOW is a portable command-line utility written in Python 2.4-2.7; it does not have any other dependencies (although running under the PyPy JIT interpreter, it runs much faster). The input is a PDB file. The output is a PDB file of dummy water atoms that forms a cast of the voids and channels of a protein. HOLLOW generates a surface from a cast of the protein surface. HOLLOW fills the interior spaces of a protein structure with dummy atoms defined on an overlapping grid. The surface generated by these dummy atoms can be shown to reproduce the surface of the protein at the ideal limit. The use of the surface of the dummy atoms allows us to focus on a specific piece of the interior surface. Simply by deleting dummy atoms, the interior surface can be trimmed to produce a custom portion of the interior space. For advanced coloring of the surface, the B-factor of the dummy atoms can be calculated as the average of the B-factor of the protein atoms surrounding the dummy atoms. This allows various colorings of the surface to be conveyed through the B-factor field of the PDB files. The volume filling representation facilitated by HOLLOW is meant to complement other programs that identify voids, pockets and channels, such as SPHGEN and CASTp, which identify binding sites but cannot produce output that can be rendered in standard molecular graphics software. HOLLOW can be used to help render these binding pockets.
