Overview#

The heart of the main webpage is this section:

The LigParGen webpage

The LigParGen Webpage#

At the top you enter your structure as either SMILES or a Mol or PDB file. After choosing the charge model and specifying the charge, if any, click on Submit Molecule. For example, if you enter CC for ethane as the SMILES, select the 1.14* CMA1-LBCC charge model and submit it, you will be sent to a page where you can download the parameters in formats suitable for various simulation codes. The KEY file for Tinker is easy to read if bit verbose:
