RTandCasKinetics

This is a tool that is used for creating a plot that investigates the combined kinetics of HIV reverse transcriptase

Users

Users do not need to be familiar with python to use this program. The users will use the Graphical User Interface (GUI) to input variables reducing the need to be familiar with python

Installation

• To install, first install pdm, and make sure it's accessible in your $PATH.

To add new packages (e.g. like pip) to your local python environment (like an anaconda environment) run pdm add matplotlib for example if you wanted to add matplotlib.

Documents

The documents contain three main folders: docs, src, and tests.

• Docs contain the functional and component specifications and a background presentation
• Src contains the functions (casmodel_func.py and probability_func.py) and the GUI interface (casmodel.py)
• Tests contain the two test modules for the functions: casmodel_func.py and probability_func.py.
