Title
An optimization algorithm for conformer generation based on the bond contribution ranking
Abstract
Many works in computational drug discovery require the conformer generation of small molecules. Most existing tools aim to generate diverse conformers and deal with all of the rotatable bonds without distinction. There are some problems in existing approaches, such as the combinatorial explosion of conformers along with the number of rotatable bonds increasing and the incomplete sampling of the conformational space. Here, we present an optimized conformer generation algorithm based on the bond contribution ranking (ABCR) to find the optimal conformer under any specified scoring function.
