The distance geometry algorithm as embodied in the program DGEOM was examined as a method for searching cyclic peptide conformations. Conformations were randomly generated using covalent distance and chirality constraints, but torsion angle rather than distance sampling was used for 1,4 relationship

✦ Synopsis
Modifications to the distance geometry algorithm as embodied in the program DGEOM have been made to improve sampling capabilities. Specifically, torsion angle sampling replaces distance sampling for 1,4 atomic relationships and correlated distance sampling is disabled. The effects of these modifications are illustrated by comparing the different sets of conformations produced for butane. In addition, these changes are shown to increase the conformational sampling of two medium-sized rings, cycloheptadecane and caprylolactam. The current results for these molecules are compared to those of other conformational searching methods.
