Chemical Structure Optimization
The molecules physiochemical properties are depends upon specific conformation. Thus suitable multi-conformer stuctures (2D/3D) of compounds to facilitate to selecting desired compounds. There are several tools are available to generate 2D/3D structure/conformers.
List of stoftware and web servers used for structure optimization of molecules:
Softwares | Description |
---|---|
Openbabel | Openbabel is a free software, used in the inter-conversion of chemical structure/conformers (2D/3D) and different chemical file formats, substructure search, force field calculation, extraction of stereochemical information and fingerprint calculation. |
SMI23D | SMI23D (3D Cordinate Generation) program converts one or more SMILIES strings into 3D. |
FROG | FROG (FRee Online druG) is a molecule conformation generation tool for small molecules starting from their 1D or 2D descriptions. |
TINKER | It is molecular modeling software having several features such as molecular dynamics, minimization and conformational sampling. It generates structure conformers by unconstrained molecular dynamics and each conformer is simulated and energy minimized. |
MOPAC | Molecular Orbital PACkage (MOPAC) is an open source semi-empirical quantum chemistry program that is used to study molecular structures and reactions. |
Balloon | It generates 3D atomic coordinates using molecular connectivity via distance geometry. |
