Detailed Description

Function Documentation

BALL_EXPORT double BALL::calculateCoulomb ( const AtomContainer &  atoms)

Returns the electrostatic (self) energy of a molecular system. Units are kJ/mol. Charges have to be assigned to each atom prior to a call to calculateCoulomb()

BALL_EXPORT double BALL::calculateDistanceCoulomb ( const AtomContainer &  fragment)

Returns the electrostatic (self) energy of a molecular system. Units are kJ/mol. Charges have to be assigned to each atom prior to a call to calculateDistanceCoulomb. Dielectric constant is calculated as follows:

\[\mathrm \varepsilon = 4 r_{ij}\nonumber \]
