obenergy -- calculate the energy for a molecule
obenergy [OPTIONS] filename
The obenergy tool can be used to calculate the energy for molecules inside (multi-)molecule files (e.g., MOL2, etc.)
If no filename is given, obenergy will give all options including the available forcefields.
View the possible options, including available forcefields:
obenergy
Calculate the energy for the molecule(s) in file test.mol2:
obenergy test.mol2
Calculate the energy for the molecule(s) in file test.mol2 using the
Ghemical forcefield:
obenergy -ff Ghemical test.mol2
Calculate the energy for the molecule(s) in file test.mol2 and print out
all individual energy interactions:
obenergy -v test.mol2
obabel(1) , obminimize(1) , obrotamer(1) .
