+The *ylz* (Yuan-Li-Zhang) style computes an anisotropic interaction between pairs of 
+coarse-grained particles considering the relative particle orientations. This potential
+was originally developed as a particle-based solvent-free model for biological membranes
+:ref:`(Yuan2010a) <Yuan>`. Unlike the :doc:`pair_style gayberne <pair_gayberne>` whose 
+orientation dependence is strictly derived from the closest distance between two 
+ellipsoidal rigid bodies, the orientation-dependence of this pair style is mathematically
+defined such that the particles can self-assemble into one-particle-thick 
+fluid membranes. The potential of this pair style is described via the formulas

-Use of this pair style requires the NVE, NVT, or NPT fixes with the *asphere* extension (e.g. :doc:`fix nve/asphere <fix_nve_asphere>`) in order to integrate particle rotation.
