What is Conformers
Conformers is a flexible tool for conformer generation. It implements several conformer generation methods and can be combined with any AMS engine.
Conformer generation in AMS
The Conformers utility program allows easy generation and manipulation of sets of molecular conformations.
- Choose between the generation methods implemented in RDKit, Simulated Annealing or Grimme’s CREST.
- Generation of conformer sets from an initial geometry.
- Merging of conformer sets with a variety of equivalence comparison methods.
- Geometry optimizations of conformer sets with higher-level engines.
- Calculations of properties (e.g. spectra) for conformers from a set.
- also available in Python for custom workflows
By coupling to the AMS driver, all of the above can be done using any engine available in AMS.
