SCOP: Structural Classification of Proteins.

The SCOP database aims to provide a manually constructed classification of all know protein structures into a hierarchy, the main levels of which are family, superfamily and fold.

The Scop object in this module represents the entire SCOP classification. It can be built from the three SCOP parsable files, modified is so desired, and converted back to the same file formats. A single SCOP domain (represented by the Domain class) can be obtained from Scop using the domain's SCOP identifier (sid).

nodeCodeDict
A mapping between known 2 letter node codes and a longer description. The known node types are cl (class), cf (fold), sf (superfamily), fa (family), dm (domain), sp (species), px (domain). Additional node types may be added in the future.
