CIF
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.

Version 3.1 (2016-11-16) Initial CIF2 version created from STAR2 version provided by Syd Hall
(J Hester)
Version 3.1.1 (2021-03-20) Fixed a CIF2 syntax error.
Removed the _description.text data item from
the 'restr_angle.atom_site_label_1', 'restr_angle.atom_site_label_2'
and 'restr_angle.atom_site_label_3' save frames since the same data
item is already provided in the imported 'restr_label' save frame.
