My favorite is the elbow builder in phenix. You give it a "smiles" string and it will build (and optionally, optimize either classically or quantum-mechanically) your small molecule structure. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplified_molecular_input_line_entry_specification http://www.phenix-online.org/documentation/elbow.htm You can also build one using a "smiles" string in coot. http://www.msg.ucsf.edu/local/programs/coot/user-manual.html#SEC112 On Jul 22, 2008, at 1:42 PM, Ariel Talavera wrote: > Hi all, > > I need to create the coordinates of a small molecule with no > structure yet.
