    CONFORMER ENSEMBLES CONTAINING BIOACTIVE CONFORMATIONS

    OMEGA

    OMEGA is designed to sample accurately the conformational space of a wide variety of molecules. It generates multi-conformer databases with high speed and reliability, using two different algorithms, one for broadly drug-like molecules and one for highly flexible linear or macrocyclic molecules.

    OMEGA samples the conformational space of drug-like molecules at speeds of hundreds of thousands of compounds per day on a CPU, and over a million molecules per day on a GPU.

    OMEGA is very effective at reproducing bioactive conformations [1,2], and provides an optimal balance between speed and performance when used on large compound databases [3].

    OMEGA conformational databases can be used as input to a variety of applications including docking engines (FRED), shape comparison tools (ROCS®) and pharmacophore perception algorithms.

    OMEGA produces high-quality ensembles of conformations, with higher accuracy than those from many other methods [4]. It has also been found to be the fastest of all commercially available conformer generators for drug-like molecules [5] and one of the fastest for macrocycles [6].

    Omega reproduction
    Omega reproduction of a high-quality ligand structure from the PDB with RMSD < 0.75 Angstrom.

    Features

    • Very rapid (<0.3 sec/molecule), systematic and rule-based conformer search
    • Converts from 1D or 2D to 3D using distance bounds methods
    • Diverse ensemble selection based on RMS deviation and strain energy
    • User-configurable search resolution
    • Automatic superposition of structural features
    • Excellent reproduction of solid-state and solution conformations of drug-like molecules and macrocycles
    • Distributed processing via MPI for all supported platforms
