Hi, can someone tell me, how the number of rotatable bonds in Extensions > Molecular Mechanics > Conformer Search : Number of Rotatable bonds??? and Number of conformers??? must be defined In View > Properties > Bond Properties: The entry Rotatable for the bonds in the molecule I can not change to Yes Best greetings Reinhard Vetter |

> In View > Properties > Bond Properties: The entry Rotatable for the > bonds in the molecule I can not change to Yes At the moment, Avogadro directly uses Open Babel's definitions of possibly rotatable bonds for automated conformer searching. Several people have legitimately asked about manually setting bonds for conformer searching. I have a basic interface in mind, but haven't had a chance with a pile of papers and grants to write. If someone were interested, I could talk them through coding. In short, something along these lines should come in the next few months, but is not yet possible. Hope that helps, -Geoff --- Prof. Geoffrey Hutchison Department of Chemistry University of Pittsburgh tel: (412) 648-0492 email: ge...@pi... web: http://hutchison.chem.pitt.edu/ |
