arc.species.conformers¶

A module for (non-TS) species conformer generation

Note

variables that contain atom indices such as torsions and tops are 1-indexed, while atoms in Molecules are 0-indexed.

conformers is a list of dictionaries, each with the following keys:

{'xyz': <dict>,
 'index': <int>,
 'FF energy': <float>,
 'source': <str>,
 'torsion_dihedrals': {<torsion tuple 0>: angle 0,
                       <torsion tuple 1>: angle 1,
 }

Module workflow:

generate_conformers
    generate_force_field_conformers
        get_force_field_energies, rdkit_force_field or openbabel_force_field_on_rdkit_conformers,
        determine_dihedrals
    deduce_new_conformers
        get_torsion_angles, determine_torsion_symmetry, determine_torsion_sampling_points,

arc.species.conformers.add_missing_symmetric_torsion_values(top1, mol_list, torsion_scan)[source]¶

Add symmetry to a torsion scan in the rotor for efficient conformer generation.

Parameters:

top1 (list) – A list of atom indices on one side of the torsion, including the pivotal atom.
mol_list (list) – A list of molecules.

arc.species.conformers.change_dihedrals_and_force_field_it(label, mol, xyz, torsions, new_dihedrals, optimize=True, force_field='MMFF94s')[source]¶

Change dihedrals of specified torsions according to the new dihedrals specified, and get FF energies.

Example:

new_dihedrals = [[90, 120], [90, 300], [180, 270], [30, 270]]

This will calculate the energy of the original conformer (defined using xyz). We iterate through new_dihedrals. The torsions are set accordingly and the energy and xyz of the newly generated conformer are kept. We assume that each list entry in new_dihedrals is of the length of the torsions list (2 in the example).

label (str) – The species’ label.
mol (Molecule) – The RMG molecule with the connectivity information.

arc.species.conformers.translate_group(mol, xyz, pivot, anchor, vector)[source]¶

Translate a group (a set of atoms from the pivot towards the anchor and onwards) by changing its pivot -> anchor vector to the desired new vector. Keep the relative distances between the group’s atoms constant, as well as the distance between the anchor and the vector atoms.

Parameters:

pivot (int) – The 0-index of the pivotal atom around which groups are to be translated.
