Generates a positional restraint file for use with MONSSTER. The restraints can be specified either explicitly with -r or implicitly with -l. The -r option is followed by a list of residue ranges with a force constant. This list is translated directly into the corresponding restraint file.
The option -l is more useful for loop and fragment modeling. It requires the the maximum force constant and a list of residues that are not supposed to be restrained as arguments. Using these parameters restraints for the other residues are generates with force constants that increase smoothly from the beginning and end of the unrestrained regions as well as the beginning and end of the whole sequence. A MONSSTER sequence file has to be provided with -seq when the option -l is used. It may also be given with the -r option for translating the residue numbering accordingly.
