Detailed Description

Implementation of the kinematic closure algorithm for sampling protein backbone conformations.

The most important classes in this namespace are KicMover, ClosureProblem, and ClosureSolution. KicMover is meant for use in other protocols, while ClosureProblem and ClosureSolution drive that kinematic closure algorithm under the hood.

KicMover objects are capable of sampling different backbone conformations in a pose. Exactly how these objects work can be heavily customized using the perturber and picker classes. Some of these classes are very general, while others are specific to certain applications. Feel free to create new sampler classes for your applications. For example, if you decide to write custom pivot picking and perturbing algorithms that are meant to be used together, make a new sampler class that wraps around KicMover and uses your custom algorithms by default.

The ClosureProblem and ClosureSolution classes are used by the KicMover as follows. First, a ClosureProblem object is created. This object is used to pick the pivot residues, to sample the nonpivot torsions, and to find backbone conformations consistent with all that. All possible solutions are found, and each solution is returned as ClosureSolution object. Then KicMover then picks a solution, using a handful of filters, and applies it to the pose.
