No. I found this to be a tricky problem. My implementation was just good
enough for a specific purpose. I'm attaching the old script just in case it
is useful as a starting point. Probably it doesn't run without
modifications. It aims to move protein chains around minimizing the radius
of the covering sphere. It isn't always what one would choose after visual
inspection. The conformational search isn't exhaustive.
