1, Introduction
Galantamine (GNT) (2D structure showed in Fig 1) is a tertiary alkaloid extracted from several species of Amarylidacae, discovered more than 52 years ago, it has been tested in various neurological applications and has been proved to be a potent reversible inhibitor to AChE. Details of this compound are provided from different perspectives in this part.

2.2, MM2 energy minimization
In order to get a more stable and low-energy conformation, which is more likely to present in interaction between GNT and target protein, we run a MM2 energy minimization and output shows that orientation of functional groups in GNT change significantly, which can be observed very obviously in Figure 2.
Figure 2, Sequence of pictures showing 3D structure and Connolly surface of GNT before (A, C) and after (B, D) MM2 energy minimization, GNT is rendered as a ball-and-stick model and the surface is rendered in transparent solid model. This view is generated by Chem3D Ultra.
