Sorry for asking a non-ccp4 question. Is there any way to mine the PDB to accumulate the structures which have similar binding site(ligand binding pocket) with that of a particular structure. If anyone can suggest a program to do this would be great. I want to do this computationally.

You could probably use SPASM for this - see: http://www.ebi.ac.uk/citexplore/citationDetails.do?externalId=9917419&dataSource=MED (for a reprint: http://xray.bmc.uu.se/cgi-bin/gerard/reprint_mailer.pl?pref=48)

If you don't want to install the whole caboodle, you can use Mark Harris' SPASM server - http://eds.bmc.uu.se/eds/spana.php?spasm
