CCL: MM RMSD

Dear Nico:
 Your exact problem is addressed by our automation environment, ChemAlive C
 currently in beta.
  Run a few molecules through our interface:
 Http://www.chemslive.com/C/interfaceC.html
 We manage the MM conformational analysis using RDKIT and then RMSD filter.
 After this all confirmations are further optimized with PM6 semi-empirical
 level with CP2K and further RMSD filtered.
 These calculations are free.
 In the coming weeks we will be adding batch submission and DFT follow on
 calculation using a proprietary on-the-fly selector for the most relevant
 conformations at the DFT level.
 This will be free for a while :)
 Please register and let us know what you think.
