I’ve searched this message board and the HADDOCK documentation but I can’t find the answer for this. I found this paper which is useful ([https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5324763/](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5324763/)) but limited to only a few parameters.

What are the definitions of the other scoring parameters e.g. Esani, Exrdc etc. Is there documentation for this somewhere? Otherwise the tutorials/manuals are quite helpful!

Also, if one is submitting distance restraints i.e. unambiguous restraints, which scoring parameter is applied to these restraints? Presumably not Eair?

Refer to the online HADDOCK2.2 manual at:

[http://www.bonvinlab.org/software/haddock2.2/run/#scoring](http://www.bonvinlab.org/software/haddock2.2/run/#scoring)

And all distance restraints are under Eair

Oh thanks for the quick response. Apologies for apparently not looking hard enough!

And for clarity I added a new section to the HADDOCK online manual:
