Subject: Rigid body dynamics

A number of programs (like XPLOR) have implemented the virtual
rigid body dynamics of T. Head-Gordon and C. Brooks
(Biopolymers vol 31, 77-100 (1991). I've seen a few notes
on CCL about "Moldy" that sound like it too can do this.

Does anyone have info about the program?

Also:

1. Does anyone know of recent studies using this technique,
   particularly applied to the protein-protein docking?

2. How does it compare with SHAKE type constraint methods:
   faster/slower or just different?

Will summarize. 

Thanks
