> Furthermore, why do I get no co-ordinates? I started from a 3D molecule. So you'll want to add a --gen3d to your command-line. (I'd feel a bit better if it was in 2 steps: generate coordinates, then conformer search, but it looks OK on one command-line.) Hope that helps, -Geoff

Folks I'm trying to use Openbabel to generate a non-standard InChIKey for a few of my metal cyanides and isocyanides (because configurations produce the same Standard InChIKey). Below is my code. Execution of the code leaving the comments intact yields the Standard InChI and Standard InChIKey

yes Geoff, this does help *a lot* - especially considering the call from the command line. One more question and a suggestion please. Q: The weighted rotor conformer gives only one conformer (lowest energy)? What happens when you specify the num of conformers to say 50 ? S: Also a suggestion oba

Thank you Geoff, but the problem is still there. provide copies of the commands, list of generated files, and an output file below. What I unfortunately see -- the output contains one molecule. The connectivity is established as needed, but fragments are not separated in different records. I want

Hi there I would like to generate a fixed number of conformers for particular molecules. I have read through http://openbabel.org/dev-api/group__conformer.shtml - is there more documentation about this? (There is nothing in the excellent bible - http://openbabel.org/docs/current/) Specifically,

Re: [Open Babel] Converting from compound names in OpenBabel

2011-12-09 Thread Noel O'Boyle
Very cool! :-) I'd be for having this in Open Babel. In fact, I think you should also consider it as an output format. In Cinfony, I use the CIR to return 1 or multiple names for a compound (could be controlled by an output option), or the IUPAC name. Regarding the specifics, I'm just wondering wh
