Contains routines relating to CG crowder interaction

Module for defining and creating crowder interactions.
At present crowders are purely speherical and defined by two types of interaction:

• A Debye-Hueckel sphere electrostatic model
  • Two parameters for each solute define this: formal charge and radius
• A soft-core repulsive term with a hard core, as defined in Tokuyama Phys Rev E 2011
  • Tokuyama used particles same diameter, but repulsion term easily transferable to different spheres using sum of radii.

More terms could be added by expanding the crowder type.

Shape option present to allow grid-like interactions using simplified models. – Not implemented

These interactions are described using precomputed 1D arrays for force and energy, as in long range DH correction.

NOTE: - At present if a flexible solute is set to being a crowder, the same crowder parameters are used for all flexible representations.

• As crowders objects are members of the mod_setofgrid::sogrid class, this can easily be changed by assigning different crowders to each sogrid of the mod_flexibility::flexible class of the flexible mod_protein::protein object.
  • Would require that radii, and possibly charges, are moved to conformation dependent part of input file.
  • Also would need to ensure interacting solutes use correct 1D array values for relevent conformation.
