Thank you for your answer, Paolo. I figure out what to do. For further
reference, I was trying to optimize a molecule containing dummy atoms.
Although rdkit.Chem.rdForceFieldHelpers.UFFGetMoleculeForceField complains
about the dummy atoms with "UFFTYPER: Unrecognized atom type: *_" messages,
but I still can call UFFAddDistanceConstraint, UFFAddAngleConstraint, etc,
using these atoms indices. This way I could optimize the molecule the way I
needed.

Thank you very much
