__contains__(key, /)

Return key in self.

__len__()

Return len(self).

count(value, /)

Return number of occurrences of value.

index(value, start=0, stop=9223372036854775807, /)

Return first index of value.

Raises ValueError if the value is not present.

schrodinger.forcefield.minimizer.minimize_structure(st: schrodinger.structure._structure.Structure, options: Optional[schrodinger.forcefield.minimizer.MinimizationOptions] = None, archive_path: Optional[os.PathLike] = None)

Minimizes a single structure. For minimizing multiple structures, the performance improves drastically if the forcefield handle instantiation happens outside the iteration loop.

Parameters

• st – structure

• options – mmffld minimization options

• archive_path – path to specific .opls file

Returns

minimization results

Return type

mm.MinimizeResults

schrodinger.forcefield.minimizer.iterate_minimize_structure(st, iteration, options=None)

Minimize a single structure multiple times. This function instantiates the forcefield handle before the iteration loop and hence increases the performance by eliminating instantiation repetitions.

Parameters

• st (schrodinger.structure object) – structure

• iteration (int) – iteration number

• options (MinimizationOptions namedtuple) – mmffld minimization options

Returns

minimization results

Return type

mm.MinimizeResults

schrodinger.forcefield.minimizer.write_restraints(filename, restraints)

Writes restraints into filename.

Parameters

• filename (string) – restraint filename

• restraints (list of Restraints) – a list to be filled with restraints

schrodinger.forcefield.minimizer.read_restraints(filename, restraints=None, constraints=None)

Reads restraints and constraints arguments from a file and creates separate lists for Restraint and Constraint objects.

Parameters

• filename (string) – restraint/constraint filename

• restraints (list of Restraints) – a list to be filled with restraints

• constraints (list of Constraints) – a list to be filled with constraints
