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

41 # and force constant. Note that bonds and impropers are explicitly listed

54 # - A BondSingletonScore, when given a bond particle, scores the bond by
55 # calculating the distance between the two atoms it bonds, subtracting the
56 # ideal value, and weighting the result by the bond's "stiffness", such that
57 # an "ideal" bond scores zero, and bonds away from equilibrium score non-zero.
58 # It then hands off to a UnaryFunction to actually penalize the value. In
59 # this case, a Harmonic UnaryFunction is used with a mean of zero, so that
60 # bond lengths are harmonically restrained.

62 # container and scores each one in turn.
