Different methods for tunnel identification, geometry-based and small-molecule tracking approaches, were compared to provide their benefits and pitfalls. Results obtained for both crystal structures and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were analyzed to investigate if a more computationally demanding method would be beneficial. Careful examination of the results is essential for the low-diameter tunnel description, and assessment of the tunnel functionality based only on their geometrical parameters is challenging. We showed that the small-molecule tracking approach can provide a detailed description of the system; however, it can also be the most computationally demanding.
