The Platinum dataset of protein-bound ligand conformations was used to benchmark the ability of the MMFF94s force field to generate bioactive conformations by minimization of randomly generated conformers. Torsion angle parameters that generally caused wrong geometries were reparameterized by conducting dihedral scans using ab initio calculations at the MP2 level. This reparameterization resulted in a systematic improvement of generated conformations.
