The current version of the Statistical Coupling Analysis (SCA)
analysis is implemented in python. This directory contains the
necessary code for running the SCA calculations, as well examples/tutorials for
the dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) enzyme family, the S1A serine
proteases, the small G-protein family and the Beta-lactamase enzyme
family. The tutorials are distributed as iPython notebooks; for
details please see: http://ipython.org/notebook.html
