NAME

     obconformer — generate conformer coordinates

SYNOPSIS

     obconformer # of conformers # of optimization steps filename

DESCRIPTION

     The obconformer tool can be used as part of a conformational study by generating random
     conformers using a Monte Carlo search. The best conformer out of the batch of conformers
     will be output, after taking the supplied number of geometry optimization steps. By default,
     obconformer uses the MMFF94 force field.

EXAMPLES

           obconformer 250 100 baseconformer.sdf >rotamer1.sdf

     Generate the best conformer (out of 250) of baseconformer.sdf and write it to rotamer1.sdf
     after 100 geometry optimization steps
