Generation of conformers of small molecules.

1. find all N major torsions
2. generate all conformers by rotating all torsions in increments delta for a total of (2π/delta)^N conformers
3. write to a trajectory
4. evaluate the force field energy with gmx mdrun -rerun.
5. find minima in the N-dimensional energy landscape

1. Load molecules with MDAnalysis.
2. Convert to RDKit molecule.
3. Perform torsion drive with rdkit.Chem.rdMolTransforms

From the COW dataset:

• V36-methylacetate : 1 dihedral
• V46-2-methyl-1-nitrobenzene : steric hindrance
• V39-butylacetate : 4 dihedrals

mdpow-molconfgen is bound by a Code of Conduct.

To build mdpow-molconfgen from source, we highly recommend using virtual environments. If possible, we strongly recommend that you use Anaconda as your package manager. Below we provide instructions both for conda and for pip.

Ensure that you have conda installed.

Create a virtual environment and activate it:

conda create --name mdpow-molconfgen
conda activate mdpow-molconfgen

Install the development and documentation dependencies:

conda env update --name mdpow-molconfgen --file devtools/conda-envs/test_env.yaml
conda env update --name mdpow-molconfgen --file docs/requirements.yaml

Build this package from source:

pip install -e .

If you want to update your dependencies (which can be risky!), run:

conda update --all

And when you are finished, you can exit the virtual environment with:

conda deactivate

To build the package from source, run:

pip install -e .

If you want to create a development environment, install the dependencies required for tests and docs with:

pip install -e ".[test,doc]"
