Re: [PyMOL] Is it possible in Pymol to determine Individual Bond, Dissociation Energy for any Bond in organic molecules?
And finally, Dr. Timofey Tyugashev, who was the first to post his response to my query, perhaps put in a comma between "Bond" and "Dissociation" in the subject head, "[PyMOL] Is it possible in Pymol to determine Individual Bond, Dissociation Energy for any Bond in organic molecules?" which changed the meaning of my requirement somewhat. -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot ___ PyMOL-users mailing list (PyMOL-users@lists.sourceforge.net) Info Page: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pymol-users Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/pymol-users@lists.sourceforge.net

Re: [PyMOL] Is it possible in Pymol to determine Individual Bond, Dissociation Energy for any Bond in organic molecules?
Dear Rajib, Pymol reads atom labels and positions from a coordinate file. It then determines which atoms are bonded based on distance criteria. That is used to draw the molecule. Pymol also has an internal library of molecules and fragments, with atoms and bonds, which can be used to build bigger molecules. QM methods are required to determine an optimal molecular geometry. But that's not something Pymol does. Just read in coordinates and draw those. Hope it helps, Tsjerk On Jun 1, 2017 21:27, "Susmita/Rajib"wrote: > No, Dr. Wassenaar, Sir! People have confused me.

Re: [PyMOL] Is it possible in Pymol to determine Individual Bond, Dissociation Energy for any Bond in organic molecules?
Hi Rajib, Probably part of the confusion is due to the meaning of "determine the structure". I understand "determine" can have different meaning in different contexts. In my area of research "determine" generally means to use experimental methods like X-ray crystallography or NMR to establish the structure of a molecule. What PyMOL does is to "guess" the topology of a molecule based on some "chemical rules", distance cutoff and information in files (like Cartesian coordinate of atoms in PDB files). There is no QM method involved in any part of the procedure not even semi-empirical or classical force-fields. If you want to study chemical reaction, theoretically, you need to use QM methods, and PyMOL is not the software for that. Please feel free to send me a private message if you want further details on this topic. Best, Osvaldo. On Thu, Jun 1, 2017 at 9:26 PM, Susmita/Rajibwrote: > No, Dr. Wassenaar, Sir!

PyMol does not use QM methods.

[PyMOL] Is it possible in Pymol to determine Individual Bond Dissociation Energy for any Bond in organic molecules?
Hello, Illustrious Members! I have a query: Let us assume one is in possession of a particular named organic reaction. In that reaction a set of reactants change into a set of products. It is very easy to observe in those named reactions as to which bonds have broken down to form other newer bonds. Is it possible in Pymol to determine Individual Bond Dissociation Energy for any such Bond of those reactants and products?
