# Binding Site Characterization
**Discipline**: Structural Biology | **Tools Used**: 4 | **Servers**: 3
## Description
Characterize binding sites: predict pockets with fpocket and P2Rank, get binding site info from ChEMBL, and visualize.
## Tools Used
- **`run_fpocket`** from `server-3` (streamable-http) - `https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/3/DrugSDA-Model`
- **`pred_pocket_prank`** from `server-3` (streamable-http) - `https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/3/DrugSDA-Model`
- **`get_binding_site_by_id`** from `chembl-server` (streamable-http) - `https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/4/Origene-ChEMBL`
- **`visualize_protein`** from `server-2` (streamable-http) - `https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/2/DrugSDA-Tool`
## Workflow
1. Predict pockets with fpocket
2. Predict pockets with P2Rank
3. Get ChEMBL binding site data
4. Visualize protein structure
## Test Case
### Input
```json
{
"pdb_code": "1AKE"
}
```
### Expected Steps
1. Predict pockets with fpocket
2. Predict pockets with P2Rank
3. Get ChEMBL binding site data
4. Visualize protein structure
## Usage Example
> **Note:** Replace `sk-b04409a1-b32b-4511-9aeb-22980abdc05c` with your own SCP Hub API Key. You can obtain one from the [SCP Platform](https://scphub.intern-ai.org.cn).
