schrodinger.structutils.minimize module

A module for force field energy evaluation and minimization.

A non-conformer serial minimization should use the minimize function:

for st in structure.StructureReader('various_ligands.mae'):
    minimize.minimize_structure(st)
    st.append('various_ligands-mini-out.mae')

A conformer serial minimization can reduce atom-typing overhead by using the Minimizer class:

for index, st in enumerate(structure.StructureReader('conformers.mae')):
    if index == 0:
        min = minimize.Minimizer(struct=st)
    else:
        min.updateCoordinates(st)
    min.minimize()
    st = min.getStructure()
    st.append('conformers-out.mae')

schrodinger.structutils.minimize.get_energy(struct)[source]

Return the force field energy for a Structure. Units are kcal/mol.

Parameters

ffld_version – One of the valid force fields

schrodinger.structutils.minimize.minimize_structure(struct, ffld_version=None, cleanup=True, **kwargs)[source]

Minimize the provided structure.

Additional keyword arguments will be used to set properties of the Minimizer instance. See the Minimizer.__init__() method for supported property names.

Parameters
  • ffld_version (integer module constant) – The force field to use. Default is to use the force field that is selected in Maestro preferences.

  • cleanup (bool) – If True, attempts to automatically clean up the structure will be made. (This uses the C function mmlewis_apply().) Note that this can modify the atom types of the passed in structure.

  • kwargs – Additional keyword arguments.

class schrodinger.structutils.minimize.Minimizer(ffld_version=None, struct=None, cleanup=True, honor_pbc=True, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: object

A class to provide force field energy and minimization.

For simple cases the minimize_structure function can be used. Direct use of this class is mostly useful for cases where multiple conformers are to be minimized, as the updateCoordinates() method allows one to avoid running atom-typing for every conformer.

__init__(ffld_version=None, struct=None, cleanup=True, honor_pbc=True, **kwargs)[source]

Initialize.

Additional keyword arguments will be used to set properties of the instance. See the __init__() method for supported property names.

Parameters
  • ffld_version (integer module constant) – Use one of the valid force fields. Default is to use the force field that is selected in Maestro preferences.

  • struct (schrodinger.structure.Structure) – The structure to be minimized.

  • cleanup (bool) – If True, attempts to automatically clean up the structure will be made. (This uses the C function mmlewis_apply().) Note that this can modify the atom types of the passed in structure.

  • min_method (enum) – The minimizer method. Valid values are MinBFGS, MinAUTO and MinCG. Default is MinAUTO, which uses BFGS if number of atoms is less than 500, CG otherwise.

  • max_steps (int) – The maximum number of steps to run the mimization for. Default is 1500.

  • energy_criterion (float) – The energy convergence criterion. Default is 5.0e-09.

  • gradient_criterion (float) – The gradient convergence criterion. Default is 0.05.

  • verbose (bool) – Printing verbosity. Default is False.

  • energy_no_electrostatics (bool) – Whether to turn off electrostatics. Default is False, i.e. to use electrostatics. NOTE: Can not be modified after the instance is created

  • energy_lj_repulsive_only (bool) – Whether to use only the repulsive portion of the Lennard-Jones term. Default is False. NOTE: Can not be modified after the instance is created

  • nonbonded_cutoff (float) – The cutoff for non-bonded interactions. It will be automatically scaled down for small BPC boxes. Default is 14.0.

  • maintain_planarity (bool) – Enable scaling of forces to artificially maintain planarity of certain sub-structures. This sets associated scale factors to their default values. Default is False. NOTE: Can not be modified after the instance is created

  • dielectric_constant (float) – The strength of the constant dielectric field used in the energy calculation. The default is 1.0 (vacuum).

  • no_zob_restrain (bool) – The default (False) is to restrain zero-order metal bonds to their input value. Setting this to True causes the forcefield parameters to be taken from lookup results if possible.

  • charges_from_ct (bool) – The default (False) is to use the charges from the force field. Setting this to True causes the charges from the ct to be used.

  • honor_pbc (bool) – Honor Periodic Boundary Conditions, if defined as properties in the structure. Default is True.

cleanup_resources()[source]
getStructure()[source]

Return the current structure.

updateCoordinates(struct)[source]

Update the coordinates of the current structure with the values from the provided struct.

This allows an additional conformer to be minimized without re-running atomtyping. It is the caller’s responsibility to make sure the molecules are equivalent and have the same atomtypes (i.e. same charges, connectivity).

minimize()[source]

Minimize the provided Structure. Store results as properties in the Structure.

Note that this method will require a valid product license. Currently, MacroModel, GLIDE, Impact, or PLOP will suffice.

Returns the corresponding energies as a tuple of double lists: (stretch_energy_list, bending_energy_list, torsion_energy_list, imp_torsion_energy_list).

Atoms are counted starting at zero.

NOTE: The API of this function may change in the next release.

setStructure(struct)[source]

Change the structure to be minimized.

This method generally won’t need to be called by the end user. To minimize different molecules, it is preferable to create separate Minimizer instances.

If only the coordinates of the structure changed, it is much faster to call updateCoordinates() instead of setStructure().

getEnergy(recalc=None)[source]

Run a zero-step minimization to calculate the energy, and return it. Also stores the energy in the structure properties. Units are kcal/mol.

Parameters

recalc (bool) – Deprecated, and will propably go away. If previously calculated energy is needed, use the Minimizer.min_energy property.

setOptions(**kwargs)[source]

Set Minimizer options by keyword. To be used only internally by the constructor.

getOptions()[source]

Return the values for all properties that control Minimizer behavior.

setLigandCleanupOptions()[source]

Obsolete.
