Btw, ptraj can be used only for analysis of protein trajectories?

One of the problems in computer assisted drug esign is proper conformations prediction for the small molecule compounds.
I wonder if it s possible to cluster small molecule conformations resulted from let s say 10-50 ps trajectory and us it for database preparation.
For example 100 000 DB preparation then should take only 1-5 microseconds and for each molecule will request much lower times than for the protein. But in this case the water influence on small molecule conformation will be included which may be futher used for virtual screening purposes for example

Best regards,
Andrew
