Re: CCL:Enumeration / SMILES handling software



 Hi Mark,
 i know only three 'usable' free appraoches:
 
1. CACTVS from W.D.Ihlenfeld (tcl, no source code for a low price), but maybe the best free tool out there.
 http://www2.ccc.uni-erlangen.de/software/cactvs/
 2. CDK: SMILES with 2D generation
 http://sourceforge.net/projects/cdk/
 3. JOELib: SMILES and interface to CDK (2D) and Ghemical (3D, simple all
 atom force field)
 joelib.sf.net
 Interesting commercial approaches are:
 - 2D: a new tool of Rarey et al.
 http://pubs3.acs.org/acs/journals/doilookup?in_doi=10.1021/ci049958u
 
- 3D: OMEGA with OEChem as chemistry kernel (formerly called OELib) http://www.eyesopen.com/ So they have a good and advanced chemistry and computer science design (C++, object oriented, source code available, if you pay for their work).
 - 2D: http://www.chemaxon.com/marvin/ (good programming interface)
 
- 3D: MOE for energy minimization (MMFF94 all-atom pair force field) in batch mode

 Kind regards, Joerg
