This issue tracks all the relevant tasks needed for the release of SMORES v1.0.0 and provides the context necessary for achieving this. This post is a living doc and will be kept-up-to-date as development on SMORES progresses.
Goals
[ ] Release a Python package which allows users to
[x] Calculate sterimol parameters using STREUSEL radii
[ ] Calculate sterimol parameters from ESP cube files
[ ] Demonstrate the validity of the approach by
[ ] Generating SMORES parameters for a set of common carbon substituent using
structures generated with xtb and ESPs generated with Psi4 and comparing these
to classical sterimol parameters calculated using conventional radii.
[x] Generating SMORES parameters for a set of common carbon substituents using
structures generated with ETKDG using their STREUSEL radii and comparing these
to classical sterimol parameters calculated using convential radii.
[ ] Generating SMORES parameters for molecules in catalytic systems described by
Harper et al.
[x] Refactor 6_fit_steric_parameters
[ ] We need to be able to handle catatlytic systems with 2 substituents
[x] Running DBStep on a hollow cube file, which ensures that the voxel grid of the electric field
surface generated by STREUSEL will be handled correctly.
[x] Running DBStep on a nested hollow cube file, which ensures that the voxiel grid of the electric field
surface generated by STREUSEL will be handled correctly.
[x] Verify the fit from the Harper paper given the reported linear fit and the provided experimental ddGs.
[ ] If dbStep is not an option, modify electric field voxels that are sufficiently far from the substituent to zero
[ ] Write an article expanding the utility of the electric field size metric by allowing the calculation of additional steric
parameters at the electric field surface
[x] Given a distribution of sterimol parameters across conformers, check if the sterimol parameter values reported in Harper are likely
We've found that the values of sterimol parameters we generate are different to those reported in the Harper paper. However they are not that far out and we consider them reasonable
