Standalone charge assignment from Espaloma framework. https://doi.org/10.1039/D2SC02739A
$ pip install espaloma_charge
Option0: Assign charges to rdkit molecule.
>>> from rdkit import Chem; from espaloma_charge import charge
>>> molecule = Chem.MolFromSmiles("N#N")
>>> charge(molecule)
array([0., 0.], dtype=float32)
Assign charges to your favorite molecule in
Option1: Use with openff-toolkit
(installation required)
>>> from openff.toolkit.topology import Molecule
>>> from espaloma_charge.openff_wrapper import EspalomaChargeToolkitWrapper
>>> toolkit_registry = EspalomaChargeToolkitWrapper()
>>> molecule = Molecule.from_smiles("N#N")
>>> molecule.assign_partial_charges('espaloma-am1bcc', toolkit_registry=toolkit_registry)
>>> molecule.partial_charges
<Quantity([0. 0.], 'elementary_charge')>
Option2: Use as Command Line Interface to write antechamber
-compatible charges.
$ espaloma_charge -i in.mol2 -o in.crg
$ antechamber -fi mol2 -fo mol2 -i in.mol2 -o out.mol2 -c rc -cf in.crg
