obrotamer
obrotamer(1) User's Reference Manual obrotamer(1)
NAME
obrotamer -- generate conformer/rotamer coordinates
SYNOPSIS
obrotamer filename
DESCRIPTION
The obrotamer tool can be used as part of a conformational search by generating random isomers based on rotating dihedral angles. These
rotamers are not conformers -- that is, obrotamer does not perform geometry optimization after generating the rotamer structure. The obmini-
mize tool can do geometry optimization using molecular mechanics.
EXAMPLES
obrotamer baseconformer.sdf >rotamer1.sdf
Generate a random rotational isomer of baseconformer.sdf and write it to rotamer1.sdf
