Defined partial charges in OBForceField

Anonymous — Mon, 25 Nov 2019 22:03:23 -0000

Hi,

I would like to know if it was possible to force the internal OBMol copy in OBForceField to have the same partial charges as defined in mol2 file? And also the same for the atom types (that are of course also defined in GAFF)?

I put some python codes below as an example. That's how far I can go... Also I am not restricted to Python only. The solution can be also in C++ (if there is one).

Thanks for your help!

Jerome.

from openbabel import openbabel as ob

obconv = ob.OBConversion()
obconv.SetInFormat("mol2")
OBMol = ob.OBMol()
obconv.ReadFile(OBMol, "molecule.mol2")

forcefield = ob.OBForceField.FindForceField("GAFF")
forcefield.Setup(OBMol)

forcefield.SetLogLevel(ob.OBFF_LOGLVL_HIGH)
forcefield.SetLogToStdErr()
forcefield.PrintFormalCharges()
forcefield.PrintTypes()

forcefield.GetAtomTypes(OBMol)
forcefield.GetPartialCharges(OBMol)

atom = OBMol.GetAtom(1)
pairdata = ob.toPairData(atom.GetData("FFAtomType"))
print(pairdata.GetAttribute(), pairdata.GetValue())
pairdata = ob.toPairData(atom.GetData("FFPartialCharge"))
print(pairdata.GetAttribute(), pairdata.GetValue())

Segmentation fault (core dumped) error while generating 3D coordinates from .sdf files

Hi,
I am trying to generate 3D coordinates from the Mechanistic Sets .sdf files downloaded from NCI. But I keep getting the error 'Segmentation fault (core dumped)'. However, it worked with the Diversity Sets .sdf files. So any help here? And I am using Linux Ubuntu. Thanks!

#102 Enumerate atoms when converting sdf to mol2

Hi there. I thought it was no longer to post tickets here. It seems I was wrong. There was a notice at the top of the submission page with the following info:

The File Format Support tracker for Open Babel here at sourceforge.net

Enumerate atoms when converting sdf to mol2

Anonymous — Mon, 15 Jan 2018 19:28:59 -0000

Hello,

I'm a newby in obabel and I need some help. This is the issue I'm facing:

I have a file in SDF format and I use obabel to convert it to MOL2. The section ATOMS in the new file looks like this:

@<TRIPOS>ATOM
1 C 0.5825 -1.4943 0.8613 C.ar 1 LIG1 0.0063
2 C -0.4113 -2.1197 1.6364 C.ar 1 LIG1 0.0421
3 C -1.7701 -1.8708 1.3728 C.ar 1 LIG1 0.1957
4 O -2.7253 -2.4643 2.1262 O.3 1 LIG1 -0.2866
5 C -2.1325 -1.0044 0.3248 C.ar 1 LIG1 0.0421
6 C -1.1389 -0.3865 -0.4590 C.ar 1 LIG1 0.0063

The problem comes up when I want to use this file with another software which requires atoms to be enumerated. So that, the second software expects something like this:

@<TRIPOS>ATOM
1 C1 0.5825 -1.4943 0.8613 C.ar 1 LIG1 0.0063
2 C2 -0.4113 -2.1197 1.6364 C.ar 1 LIG1 0.0421
3 C3 -1.7701 -1.8708 1.3728 C.ar 1 LIG1 0.1957
4 O1 -2.7253 -2.4643 2.1262 O.3 1 LIG1 -0.2866
5 C4 -2.1325 -1.0044 0.3248 C.ar 1 LIG1 0.0421
6 C5 -1.1389 -0.3865 -0.4590 C.ar 1 LIG1 0.0063

Is there any option to force obabel to include the atom number automatically?

Thanks in advance

It would be nice to add c3xml format to the list of supported chemical formats.
Thank you,
