2 # In this example, a PDB file is read in and scored using the CHARMM
3 # forcefield. It is similar to the 'charmm_forcefield.py' example, but fully
4 # works through each step of the procedure using lower-level IMP classes.
5 # This is useful if you want to customize the way in which the forcefield
6 # is applied.

61 # - A ListSingletonContainer simply manages a list of the bond particles.
62 # - A BondSingletonScore, when given a bond particle, scores the bond by
63 # calculating the distance between the two atoms it bonds, subtracting the
64 # ideal value, and weighting the result by the bond's "stiffness", such that
65 # an "ideal" bond scores zero, and bonds away from equilibrium score
66 # non-zero. It then hands off to a UnaryFunction to actually penalize the
67 # value. In this case, a Harmonic UnaryFunction is used with a mean of zero,
68 # so that bond lengths are harmonically restrained.

70 # container and scores each one in turn.
