OEConfFixOptions

class OEConfFixOptions : public OESystem::OEOptions

This class provides an interface to setup options required for constraining a fragment of the molecules during conformational search.

There are multiple ways to define the substructure for defining the constraints.

• The first is to provide a substructure query using the command SetFixSubSearch. If the input query pattern is 3D the corresponding substructure of the target is fixed to the query coordinates. For a non-3D query, the mapped substructure of an input 3D target is fixed, provided that SetIncludeInput is set to true.

• The second method is to pass in a 3D structure using the command SetFixMol. The SetFixDeleteH command can be used to control whether hydrogens should be retained or discarded from the FixMol. The corresponding substructure of the target has the atom coordinates fixed to those from the FixMol.

• The third method is to provide a SMARTS pattern using the command SetFixSmarts. The SMARTS pattern is matched against the input molecule to identify a substructure, provided that the input molecule is 3D and that SetIncludeInput is set to true. The corresponding substructure of the target is fixed during the conformer generation.

• The fourth method is to provide both a FixMol using the command SetFixMol, and a SMARTS string using the command SetFixSmarts. In this case, the SMARTS pattern is matched against the FixMol structure to identify a substructure of the FixMol. The corresponding substructure of the target is fixed to the coordinates of the FixMol substructure during conformer generation.

• The fifth method is to provide both a FixMol using the command SetFixMol, and turn on MCS based fix using the command SetFixMCS. In this case, the maximum common substructure matched against the FixMol structure to identify a substructure of the FixMol. The corresponding substructure of the target is fixed to the coordinates of the FixMol substructure during conformer generation.

• The final method is to provide an atom predicate using the command SetFixPredicate which is used to identify target atoms to be fixed.

For all the above methods, the initialization of the substructure, when applicable, can be controlled using SetAtomExpr and SetBondExpr.

The unique match flag defined using SetFixUniqueMatch applies to all substructure matches performed, either during creation of molecule fragments or when applying the actual constraints.

The MaxMatch defines how many of the matches found during constraint application should be applied, and can be set using the command SetFixMaxMatch. If the constraining fragment substructure appears twice in the target molecule and the MaxMatch is set to 2 or more, the molecule would be constrained to the substructure coordinates twice for each of the generated conformers and could result in twice the number of conformers compared to setting this value to 1.

In all cases the constraints are evaluated by the proximity between the initial generated structure of the molecule and the coordinates of the constraining substructure. The precision of the proximity evaluation can be controlled by an RMS value set using SetFixRMS.
