Constructed Molecule

class ConstructedMolecule(topology_graph)[source]

Bases: Molecule

Represents constructed molecules.

Examples

Initialization

A ConstructedMolecule is initialized from a TopologyGraph, which is typically initialized from some BuildingBlock instances.

import stk

bb1 = stk.BuildingBlock(
    smiles='NCCCN',
    functional_groups=[stk.PrimaryAminoFactory()],
)
bb2 = stk.BuildingBlock(
    smiles='O=CC(C=O)CC=O',
    functional_groups=[stk.AldehydeFactory()],
)
tetrahedron = stk.cage.FourPlusSix((bb1, bb2))
cage = stk.ConstructedMolecule(tetrahedron)

Hierarchical Construction

A ConstructedMolecule may be used to construct other ConstructedMolecule instances, though you will probably have to convert it to a BuildingBlock first

import stk

bb1 = stk.BuildingBlock(
    smiles='NCCCN',
    functional_groups=[stk.PrimaryAminoFactory()],
)
bb2 = stk.BuildingBlock(
    smiles='O=CC(C=O)CC=O',
    functional_groups=[stk.AldehydeFactory()],
)
tetrahedron = stk.cage.FourPlusSix((bb1, bb2))
cage = stk.ConstructedMolecule(tetrahedron)

benzene = stk.host_guest.Guest(
    building_block=stk.BuildingBlock('c1ccccc1'),
)
cage_complex = stk.host_guest.Complex(
    host=stk.BuildingBlock.init_from_molecule(cage),
    guests=benzene,
)
cage_complex = stk.ConstructedMolecule(cage_complex)

Obviously, the initialization of the ConstructedMolecule depends mostly on the specifics of the TopologyGraph used, and the documentation of those classes should be examined for more examples.

with_rotation_about_axis(angle, axis, origin)[source]

Return a rotated clone.

The clone is rotated by angle about axis on the origin.

Parameters:

angle (float) – The size of the rotation in radians.
axis (ndarray) – The axis about which the rotation happens. Must have unit magnitude.
origin (ndarray) – The origin about which the rotation happens.

Return type:

ConstructedMolecule

Returns:

A rotated clone.

with_rotation_between_vectors(start, target, origin)[source]

Return a rotated clone.

The rotation is equal to a rotation from start to target.

Given two direction vectors, start and target, this method applies the rotation required transform start to target onto the clone. The rotation occurs about the origin.

For example, if the start and target vectors are 45 degrees apart, a 45 degree rotation will be applied to the clone. The rotation will be along the appropriate direction.

The great thing about this method is that you as long as you can associate a geometric feature of the molecule with a vector, then the clone can be rotated so that this vector is aligned with target. The defined vector can be virtually anything. This means that any geometric feature of the molecule can be easily aligned with any arbitrary direction.

Parameters:

start (ndarray) – A vector which is to be rotated so that it transforms into the target vector.
target (ndarray) – The vector onto which start is rotated.
origin (ndarray) – The point about which the rotation occurs.

Return type:

ConstructedMolecule

Returns:

A rotated clone.

with_rotation_to_minimize_angle(start, target, axis, origin)[source]

Return a rotated clone.

The clone is rotated by the rotation required to minimize the angle between start and target.

Note that this function will not necessarily overlay the start and target vectors. This is because the possible rotation is restricted to the axis.

Parameters:

start (ndarray) – The vector which is rotated.
target (ndarray) – The vector which is stationary.
axis (ndarray) – The vector about which the rotation happens. Must have unit magnitude.
origin (ndarray) – The origin about which the rotation happens.

Return type:

ConstructedMolecule

Returns:

A rotated clone.

Raises:

ValueError – If target has a magnitude of 0. In this case it is not possible to calculate an angle between start and target.

with_structure_from_file(path, extension=None)[source]

Return a clone, with its structure taken from a file.

Multiple file types are supported, namely:

.mol, .sdf - MDL V2000 and V3000 files
.xyz - XYZ files
.mae - Schrodinger Maestro files
.coord - Turbomole files
.pdb - PDB files

Parameters:

path (str) – The path to a molecular structure file holding updated coordinates for the Molecule.
extension (Optional[str]) – If you want to treat the file as though it has a particular extension, put it here. Include the dot.

Return type:

ConstructedMolecule

Returns:

A clone with atomic positions found in path.

write(path, atom_ids=None)[source]

Write the structure to a file.

This function will write the format based on the extension of path.

.mol, .sdf - MDL V3000 MOL file
.xyz - XYZ file
.pdb - PDB file

Parameters:

path (str) – The path to which the molecule should be written.
atom_ids (Union[int, Iterable[int], None]) – The atom ids of atoms to write. Can be a single int, if a single atom is to be used, or None, if all atoms are to be used. If you use this parameter, the atom ids in the file may not correspond to the atom ids in the molecule.

Return type:

ConstructedMolecule

Returns:

The molecule.
