 ## Comparison with Fpocket
 
 [Fpocket](https://github.com/Discngine/fpocket) is a widely used open source ligand binding site prediction program.
-It is fast, easy to use and well documented. As such, it was a great inspiration for this project.
-Fpocket is written in C, and it is based on a different geometric algorithm.

 Some practical differences:
 
 * **Fpocket**
     - has a much smaller memory footprint 
     - runs faster when executed on a single protein
-    - produces a high number of less relevant pockets (and since the default scoring function isn't very effective the most relevant pockets often don't get to the top)
+    - produces a high number of less relevant pockets (and since the default scoring function isn't very effective, the most relevant pockets often don't get to the top)
     - contains MDpocket algorithm for pocket predictions from molecular trajectories 
     - still better documented
 * **P2Rank**
