[amjjbonvin]

It's start! Nice.

[amjjbonvin]

I would also add sections about:

• flexibility options
• ab-initio docking mode (for CM restraints and random airs)
• symmetry restraints

May-be as part of a general section about restraints in HADDOCK3 and this is also where the haddock-restraints part should be residing

[AnnaKravchenko]

Question about flexibility options. It is about explaining how to make molecule/part of molecule flexible/semi-flexible in haddokc3, only practical things, right?
Or would you like to see a more theoretical explanation about flexibility in haddock, i.e. that semi-flexible refinement is happening in torsion angle space etc.?

flexref is a module and will have its own documentation.

In my opinion, it is more about explaining how to make molecules/segments flexible/semi-flexible.
Detailed explanation on the various parameters used to define it, and in which modules they can be used.

[rversin]

Is this a module created for ligands/small molecules and protein/receptor complex ? If so, I would say that it would be interesting to just add a sentence to introduce a general idea as to which cases it is most appropriate to use.

[rversin]

Should we add a sentence about the most important parameters of clusfcc ? Since the other modules get a quick description, it would make sense to at least describe 'clust_cutoff' imo.

[rversin]

Should we add somewhere here which units are used for the cutoffs/rmsd values outputed ? i know it's Angstrom but not every software uses Angstrom themselves, so it would be nice to have it written in my opinion.

[rversin]

In the parameter column, shoud we add the name of the modules in haddock3 ? (especially for the MD steps, as new users might not know immediatelly which module we refer to)

[VGPReys]

This file should be updated, it sill displays the haddock2.4 parameter names.
