 Hi,

   I want to develop a simple flexible model for my ligands - not all atom
 model. This is to study steric interactions between that model and
 all atom protein. I came accross the 'rod modeling of DNA' - is there
 anything for large/long flexible ligands? Any suggestion/pointer would
 be highly appreciated.
