First: this is not a "requirement": the makeDIST_RST program can be helpful if
you already have information in the format listed above (generally from NMR
analysis programs). You can alway write sander restraints "by hand", and that
is the most flexible approach, and often the best if you only have a few
restraints.

Second, "upper_bound" is the upper bound on the distance between the two
atoms. It often comes from NMR, but can also be the result of modeling, or
can be based on other information or hypotheses.
