Description

Writes an upper limit distance restraint file. Optionally, the output may be appended to an existing file.

Ambiguous distance restraints

Distance restraints can either be unambiguous i.e. assigned to a single pair of atoms, or ambiguous, i.e. assigned to multiple pairs of atoms. In the input file, an ambiguous distance restraint is composed of several lines. The first line of an ambiguous distance restraint specifies the first assignment and the upper distance bound, as in the case of an unambiguous distance restraint. The following lines specify additional assignments with an upper distance bound of zero. An ambiguous distance restraint with n assignments to atom pairs (α1,β1),...,(αn,βn) and an upper distance bound b imposes on the structure the condition

.

d(αi,βi) is the distance between the atoms αi and βi.

Note that the "effective distance" deff cannot be longer than the shortest of the individual distances. Therefore, an ambiguous distance restraint is fulfilled if at least one of the assignments corresponds to a distance that does not exceed the upper bound b, regardless of the possible presence of other assignments that correspond to longer distances.

Shorthand form

Instead of the command

write upl filename.upl

the shorthand version

write filename.upl

can be used if the filename extension is ".upl".
