`pard` is a package designed to make those **P**hysicochemical **A**mino acid **R**eplacement **D**istances calculations
straightforward with Python.

One typical use is to establish a 'distance' between a wild-type protein and its mutated version.
One typical use is to establish a 'distance' between a wild-type protein and its mutated version. Sometimes, rather
than a distance, a similarity is outputted (e.g. with `the Conformational similarity weight matrix`
[[7]](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/002228369290261H)). The higher the distance, the more
different the two amino acids are. The higher the similarity, the more similar the two amino acids are. Whenever
a distance is not outputted but rather a similarity, a warning (that the user can turn off) will be raised.
