@buffbyte I was able to run it successfully, following a few changes. I made some comments in the code, please review and revise. Once the imports are cleaned up and the tqdm dependency is taken care of, we can write a unit test for it. |

ESSA-2 builds on the original ESSA in several key ways:
- Uniform Crowding Perturbation: The perturbation is standardized by adding uniform number of nodes to each residue, thus ensuring a consistent “crowding” effect.
- MSF-Based Essentiality Metric: Instead of relying on changes in eigenvalues, ESSA-2 uses changes in mean square fluctuations (MSFs) to measure essentiality. This approach accounts for both eigenvalues and eigenvectors, giving a more direct assessment of how perturbations influence the amplitude of protein motions rather than just their frequencies.
- Allosteric Crowding Analysis:** ESSA-2 includes a function for targeted crowding of known allosteric drug-binding sites. This makes it possible to study how perturbations at these sites affect distant regions, effectively modeling long-range allosteric effects.
- Flexible Mode Selection: Users will have the choice to determine the number of modes by specifying the percentage variance.
