OpenEye is pleased to announce the release of QUACPAC v1.7.0. This upgrade adds a number of features and fixes several bugs.

HIGHLIGHTS

Tautomers
Tautomers is a program used for canonicalizing and/or enumerating the tautomeric forms of a small molecule. Tautomers now outputs a low-energy, medicinally relevant, “reasonable” tautomer. The depictions below are a useful guide for recognizing how tautomers are favored as reasonable:

  • Conversion of carboxylates to diols and nitros to di-hydroxy amines is not favored.

    disfavored and favored
     
  • Generation of unnecessary, non-dative, formal charges is not favored.

    disfavored and favoreddisfavored and favored
     
  • Exocyclic bonds adjacent to aromatic rings are accounted for.

    disfavored and favored
     
  • Priority is given to aliphatic double-bond positions.

    disfavored and favored

Molcharge
AM1BCC ELF10 method has been added to molcharge for applying partial charges to a molecule, allowing up to 10 diverse conformers to be selected from conformers having the Electrostatically Least-interacting Functional groups (ELF). These conformers are then charged with the AM1BCCSym method and the charge sets are averaged to come up with a single charge set that is applied to all conformers.
 
General
Tautomers, molcharge, pkatyper, and fixpka will label unnamed input molecules as output_1, output_2, etc.

PLATFORM SUPPORT
  • Support for Ubuntu 14 has been added.
  • Support for RedHat 7 has been added.
  • Support for Mac OS X 10.10 and 10.11 has been added.
  • Mac OS X 10.7 and 10.8 are no longer supported.
  • SuSe 11 is no longer supported.
