Restraints dictionary version 3.1
Category RESTR_RIGID_BODY
Name:'RESTR_RIGID_BODY'
Parent category:
CIF_RSTR
Definition:
Items in this category list the atoms defining one or more bodies that are constrained to be rigid in the final refinement. This is done by listing the atom-site label and symmetry operation for each atom in each rigid body. Since rigid bodies are only constrained, not restrained, the rigid body is adequately defined by the refined coordinate in the atom_site list. A second category, RESTR_RIGID_BODY_CLASS, permits a description of each rigid body to be given in a *_details item.
Category is of type Loop
