Welcome to DCProgs’s documentation!

The goal of DCProgs is to provide a collection of tools for scientific research on ion channels. The package is derived from the DCPROGS suite and will consist of a Python port and wrap of Fortran code with ~30 years usage at University College London. The rationale is to preserve and cultivate these tools for future research applications.

For a description of the methods involved, see [1], [5], [3], [2], [4].
