AtomicContact

Do two residues have any pair of atoms within a cutoff distance? Somewhat more subtle than ResidueDistanceFilter (which works by neighbor atoms). Iterates over all atom types of a residue, according to the user specified restrictions (sidechain, backbone, protons)

<AtomicContact name="(&string)" residue1="(&integer)" residue2="(&integer)" sidechain="1" backbone="0" protons="0" distance="(4.0 &integer)"/>

Some movers (e.g., PlaceSimultaneouslyMover) can set a filter's internal residue on-the-fly during protocol operation. To get this behavior, do not specify residue2.
