10.16 Torsion Analysis

To calculate torsion angles for 3D chemical table:

  • Read in a chemical spreadsheet File/Open SDF - the sdf file needs to contain 3D coordinates.
  • Choose Chemistry/Torsion Analysis
  • Sketch a torsion pattern by marking four torsion atoms with labels 1-4 e.g [c:2]([c:3]:[n:4]):[n:1] Labels can be set as shown in the molecular editor below - right click on an atom and choose 'Atom Mapping Number'.

There are some options:

  • Try all possible matches - if torsion pattern matches more than once in a chemical then multiple values will be return
  • Take Absolute Vale - takes Abs(torsion_angle) # 180 or -180 -> 180
  • Two fold symmetry - takes Min( torsion_angle, 180-torsion_angle )
  • Build angle distribution histogram - a histogram will be displayed in the panel next to the table.
