Module desmondutils

Zero out all the non-diagonal Chorus box properties. The main use of this function is to remove numerical imprecision in the off-diagonal elements that causes Desmond to consider the box triclinic. The function returns the largest off-diagonal element pre-zeroing so the calling routine can decide what to do (warn user, etc) if the off-diagonals looked large enough to be intentionally non-zero.

Parameters:

• struct (schrodinger.structure.Structure) - The structure whose Chorus box properties should be modified

Returns: float

The absolute value of the largest off-diagonal element before zeroing

Determine the size of a cubic box that encloses the entire structure

Parameters:

• struct (schrodinger.structure.Structure) - The structure to use in determining the box size.

Returns: float

The largest span in the X, Y or Z direction

Add the Chorus box properties to the structure for a cubic box

Parameters:

• struct (schrodinger.structure.Structure) - The structure to add the properties to

Add properties to the structure that define the periodic boundary condition in the way Desmond wants it defined.

Parameters:

• struct (schrodinger.structure.Structure) - The structure to add the properties to
• ax - The value of the ax box property
• ay - The value of the ay box property. Defaults to 0.
• az - The value of the az box property. Defaults to 0.
• bx - The value of the bx box property. Defaults to 0.
• by - The value of the by box property. If not given, this value is set the same as ax.
• bz - The value of the bz box property. Defaults to 0.
• cx - The value of the cx box property. Defaults to 0.
• cy - The value of the cy box property. Defaults to 0.
• cz - The value of the cz box property. If not given, this value is set the same as ax.

Check if the structure has all the Chorus box properties

Parameters:

• struct (schrodinger.structure.Structure) - The structure to check for properties

Returns: bool

Whether the structure has all the chorus box properties

Check if the structure has all the space group PBC properties

Parameters:

• struct (schrodinger.structure.Structure) - The structure to check for properties

Returns: bool

Whether the structure has all the space group pbc properties

Check if the structure has all the crystal builder PBC properties

Parameters:

• struct (schrodinger.structure.Structure) - The structure to check for properties

Returns: bool

Whether the structure has all the space group pbc properties

Write input for the Desmond System Builder

Parameters:

• struct (schrodinger.structure.Structure) - The structure to run the system builder on
• out_name (str) - The base name for the output files
• forcefield (str) - The forcefield to use
• rezero_system (bool) - Whether to move the center of mass to the origin

Returns: (str, str)

The names of the .msj and .mae files that were created

Run the Desmond multisim system builder

Parameters:

• struct (schrodinger.structure.Structure) - The structure to run the system builder on. If the chorus box properties are not set to define the periodic boundary condition, a cubic PBC will be imposed based on the largest span of the X, Y or Z coordinates.
• output_basename (str) - The base name of the output file
• forcefield (str) - The name of the force field to use. The default is 'OPLS_2005'. Note that any custom directory needed for OPLS3 is taken care of via the runtime environment as long as the script was launched via launcher with the oplsdir argument.
• rezero_system (bool) - Whether to move the center of mass to the origin
• logger (logging.Logger) - The logger to use to record any messages. If None, the messages are printed.
• copy_output (bool) - specifies to copy output files back to the launch directory by adding them to the job control backend

Returns: str or None

The name of the resulting .cms file, or None if the file was not produced successfully

Check structures to see if the specified forcefield is valid for them

Parameters:

• structs (list) - A list of schrodinger.structure.Structure objects
• ffield_num (int) - An integer specifying which forcefield to use

Returns: list

A list containing all the structures that fail the force field test. The list is empty if all structures are valid for the force field

Check that the given name is a valid force field name and if so, return the mmffld number associated with that name

Parameters:

• name (str) - The force field name to check

Returns: (str or None, int)

The first item is an error message if an error occurred. The second item is the mmffld integer for the given forcefield, or 0 if an error occurred.

Return any PBC bonds that exist between pairs of the given atoms.

Parameters:

• astructure (schrodinger.structure.Structure) - the structure that has the PBC bonds
• atoms (list) - the atoms to check for PBC bonds

Returns: list

a list of schrodinger.structure._StructureBond objects for the PBC bonds

Return a boolean indicating whether the given structure is disconnected, meaning that it contains at least one molecule (more specifically finite molecule) with at least one PBC bond. As an example of a disconnected structure consider a fragmented molecule whose fragments are connected by PBC bonds. Assumes any PBC bonds in the input structure are marked with the PBC_BOND_KEY property.

Parameters:

• astructure (schrodinger.structure.Structure) - the structure whose disconnectedness is in question

Returns: bool

True if disconnected, False otherwise

Return a boolean indicating whether the given structure is infinitely bonded, meaning that it is not disconnected (see is_disconnected) and has at least a single PBC bond (used to distinguish it from finite intact molecules). If any molecule in the given structure is not infinitely bonded then the structure itself is not considered infinite. As an example of an infinite structure consider graphene, gold, infinite polymer, etc. Assumes any PBC bonds in the input structure are marked with the PBC_BOND_KEY property.

Parameters:

• astructure (schrodinger.structure.Structure) - the structure whose infiniteness is in question

Returns: bool

True if infinite, False otherwise
