Re: pairInteraction commands

Matthew,

Is this not well described in the manual? Numerous options use flags
from a PDB file, usually from the occupancy (O) or B-factor (B) columns,
sometimes one or the other by default and sometimes defaulting to the
coordinate PDB (even if those coordinates are overwritten by binary or
trajectory coordinates, the other columns can still be used).

My loose remembrance from the source code is that pairInteraction sets
groups based on 1 and -1 flags, much like the alchemy keyword.

HTH,
Brian

As this PDB file is usually different to that which provides the atomic coordinates. I’ve read through the tutorials and it only seems to give a brief explanation here.
