missing topology with respect to the simulation. For example, the
pre-reacted template may contain an atom that, in the simulation, is
currently connected to the rest of a long polymer chain. These are
referred to as edge atoms, and are also specified in the map file.
When the pre-reaction template contains edge atoms, not all atoms,
bonds, charges, etc. specified in the reaction templates will be
updated. Specifically, topology that involves only atoms that are 'too
near' to template edges will not be updated. The definition of 'too
near the edge' depends on which interactions are defined in the
simulation. If the simulation has defined dihedrals, atoms within two
bonds of edge atoms are considered 'too near the edge.' If the
simulation defines angles, but not dihedrals, atoms within one bond of
edge atoms are considered 'too near the edge.' If just bonds are
defined, only edge atoms are considered 'too near the edge.'

pre-reaction template atoms should be linked to a bonding atom, via at
least one path that does not involve edge atoms. When the pre-reaction

NOTE: Small molecules, i.e. ones that have all their atoms contained
within the reaction templates, never have edge atoms.
