openbabel  3.1.1
About: Open Babel is a chemical toolbox designed to speak the many languages of chemical data. It’s an open, collaborative project allowing anyone to search, convert, analyze, or store data from molecular modeling, chemistry, solid-state materials, biochemistry, or related areas.

Classes Overview

Chemical Storage and Manipulation:

  • OBBase - General base class of OBAtom, OBMol, OBResidue, etc. for storing generic, arbitrary custom data
    • OBMol - Central molecule class, properties, ...
    • OBAtom - Central atom class, properties, coordinates, ...
    • OBBond - Bond connection between two OBAtom, properties, bond orders, ...
    • OBResidue - Biomolecule residues (amino acids, nucleic acids)
    • OBReaction - Used to store chemical reactions (i.e., reactants -> products)
    • OBGrid - A base grid class (e.g., 3D functions like electrostatic potential, evaluated on a grid)
    • OBText - An object containing just text
  • OBRing - Ring cycle perception, Smallest Set of Smallest Rings (SSSR), Largest Set of Smallest Rings (LSSR)

Import / Export:

  • OBConversion - Conversion between file formats. Interface for import or export
  • OBFormat - Parent class for file format types for any sort of data

Chemical Utilities:

  • OBFingerprint - Generating molecular fingerprints for databases and similarity searches
