While GAFF, MMFF94 and other force fields attempt to replicate heats of formation, the heat for formation of an organic molecule need not always be negative. (Consider, for example cyclobutane, which is perfectly stable but has a positive DeltaG.) https://www2.chemistry.msu.edu/faculty/reusch/

[Open Babel] Positive values of Energy (python)

2017-03-06 Thread Filip Stefaniak
Hi All, I'm trying to calculate Energy values for a set of small molecules in python. It is basically calculated like here: [...] ff = openbabel.OBForceField.FindForceField('GAFF') ff.Setup(mol) print ff.Energy() I've tried for several sets of conformers (X-ray, minimized, 2D), various input f
