#STRESS
# STRESS

A computationally-efficient framework for identifying potential allosteric residues at the protein surface and within the interior

### Overview
Inspired by the binding leverage framework first introduced by Mitternacht and Berezovsky in 2011,
this module efficiently identifies pockets on the protein surface such that their occlusion with
small ligands is predicted to drastically affect conformational change – such surface sites are

2. When submitting a PDB file, we suggest using the biological assembly file (not the raw
asymmetric unit).

## Identifying Interior-Critical Residues

###Overview
### Overview
Allosteric residues within the protein interior often function as essential communication ‘bottlenecks’
between distinct regions. To identify such bottleneck residues, this computationally efficient module
represents a protein structure as a network of interacting residues, and simultaneously incorporates
