Glossary

constraint

enforced and not able to be violated sets of values in modelling (e.g. distances, coordinates etc.)

restraint

favored and able to be violated (up to some degree) sets of values in modelling (e.g. distances, coordinates etc.)

series

groups of modelling targets (a kind of target selection) to which specific modelling parameters can be applied

subunit

single protein chain which is part of the modelling target system

particle

set of system entities like atom, group of atoms, residues, protein chains etc. (depends on hierarchy)

selector

method for grouping (or selecting) particles, subunits, system states etc.

representation resolution

target system’s coarse grained or even atomic representation

transformation matrix

sets of coordinates dictating the final rotation and translation moves of particles
