Detailed Description

The plain Couple may crosslink two Fiber irrespective of their configuration. Derived classes implement specificity, angular stiffness, etc.

List of classes accessible by specifying couple:activity.

`activity`	Clas	Parameters
`diffuse`	Couple	Parameters of Couple (default)
`fork`	Fork	Parameters of Fork
`crosslink`	Crosslink	Parameters of Crosslink
`bridge`	Bridge	Parameters of Bridge
`slide`	Shackle	Parameters of Shackle

Example:

set couple complex
{
  hand1 = kinesin
  hand2 = kinesin
  stiffness = 100
  diffusion = 10
  activity = crosslink
  length = 0.02
}

You can attach the hands of a Couple:

new couple protein
{
   attach1 = INTEGER, REAL
   attach2 = INTEGER, REAL
}

where:

INTEGER designates the fiber:
- 1 for the first fiber
- 2 for the second, etc.
- 0 designates the last fiber,
- -1 is the penultimate one, etc.
REAL is the abscissa of the attachment point
