I have generated multiple input conformers since there are 3 rotatable bonds in it. I got two different low energy structures. I have to make a choice among these to use them for docking. In these kind of situations, that is for a totally new ligand, how to optmize a structure in Gaussian for molecular docking. The proper procedure to choose the ligand for docking procedure if there are multiple closely related outputs.Also is there any particular method to follow in preparation of inputs if there are multiple rotatable bonds.
