acpype

The Package

Requirements:
  • Python 3.9 or higher

  • Antechamber (from AmberTools preferably)

  • OpenBabel (optional, but strongly recommended)

This code is released under GNU General Public License V3.

<<< NO WARRANTY AT ALL!!! >>>

It was inspired by:

  • amb2gmx.pl (Eric Sorin, David Mobley and John Chodera) and depends on Antechamber and Openbabel

  • YASARA Autosmiles (Elmar Krieger)

  • topolbuild (Bruce Ray)

  • xplo2d (G.J. Kleywegt)
