An algorithm has been developped for the computer generation of the possible conformations of non-planar cyclic molecules. This algorithm has been used successfully to select the known conformations of the ribose ring, of substituted cyclohexane and of disulfide bridged peptides. Its use may be exte

✦ Synopsis
Formulas are given for convergence-accelerated lattice sums over all intermolecular Coulomb, London, and repulsive interactions. Their implementation in the consistent force field is described. Optimum values of convergence constant and summation limit are found for r-12, r-', and r-l interaction terms. Energy minimization in all degrees of freedom, also intramolecular, for crystals of Ar, KC1, and C2H6 is reported.

## Abstract This article describes the application of our distributed computing framework for crystal structure prediction (CSP) the modified genetic algorithms for crystal and cluster prediction (MGAC), to predict the crystal structure of flexible molecules using the general Amber force field (GAF
Path energy minimization (PEM), a novel method for the generation of a reaction path linking two known conformers of a molecule, is presented. The technique is based on optimizing a function which closely approximates the peak potential energy of a quasi-continuous path between the fmed end points.
