What is SCA?

• SCA is a computation technique to determine potential allosteric sites in protein families

• based on evolutionary coupling between amino acid sequences in proteins.

• Note that there is a lower bound on number of sequences used in an MSA determined by binomial

• distribution of frequencies of amino acids and KL entropy function. Around 100 is what the

• notes on SCA calculations suggest.
