+
+Description
+"""""""""""
+
+The *mwlc* angle style models a meltable wormlike chain, using a potential that is a canonical-ensemble superposition of
+a non-melted and a melted state :ref:`(Farrell) <Farrell>`,
+
+.. math::
+
+    \beta E = -\log [q + q^{m}],
+
+where
+
+.. math::
+    q = \exp [-l_{p}(1-\cos{\theta})/\sigma], \\
+    q^{m} = \exp [-\beta\mu-l_{p}^{m}(1-\cos{\theta})/\sigma],
+
+:math:`l_{p}` is the persistence length of the non-melted state,
+:math:`l_{p}^{m}` is the persistence length of the melted state,
+and :math:`\mu` is the melting energy.
+
+This potential is a continuous version of the two-state potential
+introduced by :ref:`(Yan) <Yan>`.
+
+The following coefficients must be defined for each angle type via the
+:doc:`angle_coeff <angle_coeff>` command as in the example above, or in
+the data file or restart files read by the :doc:`read_data <read_data>`
+or :doc:`read_restart <read_restart>` commands:
+
+* :math:`l_{p}` (distance)
+* :math:`l_{p}^{m}` (distance)
+* :math:`\mu` (energy)
+
+----------
+
+
+Restrictions
+""""""""""""
+
+This angle style can only be used if LAMMPS was built with the
+EXTRA-MOLECULE package.  See the :doc:`Build package <Build_package>` doc page
+for more info.
