Dear rdkiters,

Is it possible to list all the torsion angles UFF parameters
around single bonds out of rings (rotatable bonds) for a given molecule ?

From what I found in the rdkit doc, it is (only?) possible to extract
the Vjk value for four consecutive atoms indexed i j k l.

But, Vjk is just one parameter (the torsion barrier in kcal/mol): for each torsion angle UFF also defines the multiplicity of the barrier (n_jk, an integer) and phi0 (the angle in degrees at which the barrier is 0), if I understand correctly.

I am reading carefully the DREIDING and UFF papers, but I am not (yet?)
sure I will be able to get that correctly.
So, since rdkit has an UFF implementation, I wonder if it would not
be safer to have just rdkit list for me all those torsions parameters for the molecule at hand.

If rdkit cannot do that, I might post later a tentative solution so that another pair
of eyes might tell me if I got this correctly.

Regards,
F.
