# of all pairs of Particles that are close. Next, all 1-2, 1-3 and 1-4 pairs
# from the stereochemistry created above are filtered out.
# Then, a LennardJonesTypedPairScore scores a pair of atoms with the
# Lennard-Jones potential, using the Lennard-Jones types already assigned.
# Finally, a PairsRestraint is used which simply applies the
# LennardJonesTypedPairScore to each pair in the ClosePairContainer.
