OBROTAMER(1)		     User's Reference Manual		    OBROTAMER(1)

NAME
     obrotamer -- generate conformer/rotamer coordinates

SYNOPSIS
     obrotamer filename

DESCRIPTION
     The obrotamer tool can be used as part of a conformational search by gener-
     ating random isomers based on rotating dihedral angles.  These rotamers are
     not conformers -- that is, obrotamer does not perform geometry optimization
     after  generating the rotamer structure.  The obminimize tool can do geome-
     try optimization using molecular mechanics.

ENVIRONMENT
     OB_RANDOM_SEED
	   Seed for pseudo random number generator; random seed is used if unset
	   or null.  This feature is effective	if  Open  Babel  is  built  with
	   -DOB_USE_OBRANDOMMT cpreprocessor flag (will be automatically enabled
	   when version 4 is released).

EXAMPLES
	   obrotamer baseconformer.sdf > rotamer1.sdf

     Generate  a  random  rotational isomer of baseconformer.sdf and write it to
     rotamer1.sdf

SEE ALSO
     obabel(1), obenergy(1), obfit(1), obgrep(1), obminimize(1), obrotate(1).
