Dear Omar,

I already know this thread. The problem is, that I do not know, how to come from the GetMMFFAtomType returned unsigned integer to the string representation. The unsigned integer code is not unique to a specific symbolic atom type. Look for example at entry 2-4 of this file https://github.com/openbabel/openbabel/blob/master/data/mmffdef.par:

   C=C     2    2    2    1    0    VINYLIC
*  CSP2    2    2    2    1    0    GENERIC CSP2
*  CGD     2    2    2    1    0    GUANIDINE CARBON

There you have the same numerical MMFF type (second column) for three different symbolic atom types. So my question is: Since the numerical MMFF is not unique to the symbolic atom type how can I get the symbolic ones from rdkit? I need the symbolic types in order as the before mentioned MC code takes them as input.

Regards
Stefan

Dear stefan,

I had a similar issue, and based on answer by Paolo Tosco, you can find
MMFF Symbols/Definitions here :
https://github.com/openbabel/openbabel/blob/master/data/mmffdef.par
The thread: https://sourceforge.net/p/rdkit/mailman/message/36949170/

I hope this helps,
Omar.

Hello everyone,

I need to find the symbolic atom types of the Merck force field in order to create inputs for a Monte Carlo code (http://towhee.sourceforge.net/)
as indicated in this example
(
https://sourceforge.net/p/towhee/code/HEAD/tree/Examples/Isobaric_Isothermal_Ensemble/MMFF94_Ethyleneoxide/towhee_input).

As far as I can see, rdkit currently only provides the numerical MMFF
atom type via GetMMFFAtomType for each atom. Is there a convenient way
to get the symbolic ones (as the MC code requires them)?

Thanks and Regards
Stefan
