Dear James,
>>> for atom in mh.GetAtoms():
>>> if not atom.GetAtomicNum() == 1:
>>> idx = atom.GetIdx()
>>> ff.MMFFAddPositionConstraint(idx, maxDispl=0.5,
forceConstant=100)
>>> ff.Minimize(maxIts=10000)
>>> ff.CalcEnergy()
This will give you the energy *including* the constraint term, which is
probably not what you want.
If you want the clean MMFF energy term with no contraints, I'd rebuild
the force field after the constrained minimization without the
constraint and then invoke CalcEnergy(). This will give you the energy
of the partially relaxed system without any constraint terms.
If you wish to break down the energy contributions to the total energy,
currently the procedure is really inefficient from Python, as it
involves a separate force-field rebuild and energy calculation for each
MMFF energy term. I hope this is not a problem given the small number of
molecules involved; I'll look into making this more efficient.
Please find below a Python snippet that will do what you need on molecule m:
from rdkit import Chem
from rdkit.Chem import rdForceFieldHelpers
from rdkit.Chem import ChemicalForceFields
def energyTermBreakdown(m):
mp = ChemicalForceFields.MMFFGetMoleculeProperties(m)
eTotal = 0.0
ffTerms = ('Bond', 'Angle', 'StretchBend', 'Torsion', 'Oop', 'VdW',
'Ele')
for iTerm in ffTerms:
for jTerm in ffTerms:
state = (iTerm == jTerm)
setMethod = getattr(mp, 'SetMMFF' + jTerm + 'Term')
setMethod(state)
ff = rdForceFieldHelpers.MMFFGetMoleculeForceField(m, mp)
e = ff.CalcEnergy()
print ('{0:s} energy: {1:.4f}'.format(iTerm, e))
eTotal += e
print ('Total energy: {0:.4f}'.format(eTotal))
Cheers,
p.

Dear All,
Recently I have been assessing some ligand conformations from crystal
structures to identify any non-ideal bond lengths, angles, torsions,
or non-bonded contacts.
What I am doing at the moment is adding some positional constraints to
the crystallographic heavy atom positions, and calculating the energy
before and after minimisation:
>>> m = Chem.MolFromMolFile(‘input.mol’)
>>> mh = AllChem.AddHs(m, addCoords=True)
>>> mp = AllChem.MMFFGetMoleculeProperties(mh, mmffVariant='MMFF94s')
>>> ff = AllChem.MMFFGetMoleculeForceField(mh, mp)
>>> ff.CalcEnergy()
This gives the ‘raw’ energy.

>>> ff.MMFFAddPositionConstraint(idx, maxDispl=0.5,
forceConstant=100)
>>> ff.Minimize(maxIts=10000)
>>> ff.CalcEnergy()
And this gives the energy after applying a moderate restraint (100
kcal/mol, with a maximum displacement of 0.5 A).
So I think this is ok(?), and I can compare the two energies and
inspect the conformations visually.
What I was wondering was whether there is a way of obtaining the
individual energy terms (ie each bonded and non-bonded term, angle,
and torsion)?
Because what I’d really like to do is identify the areas of the
molecule that contribute the most to the pre- and post- minimisation
energy difference.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Kind regards
James
