.Dt obrotamer 1 URM
.Sh NAME
.Nm obrotamer
.Nd "generate conformer/rotamer coordinates"
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Ar filename
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The obrotamer tool can be used as part of a conformational search
by generating random isomers based on rotating dihedral angles. These
rotamers are not conformers -- that is, obrotamer does not perform geometry
optimization after generating the rotamer structure. The obminimize tool
can do geometry optimization using molecular mechanics.
.Sh EXAMPLES
.Dl "obrotamer baseconformer.sdf > rotamer1.sdf"
.Pp
Generate a random rotational isomer of baseconformer.sdf and write
it to rotamer1.sdf
