Abstract
In a previous paper we solved a well-defined subcase of the whole conformational enumeration problem of n-alkanes. This paper offers a general solution. Most probably the rules determining the sequences of the conformers slightly depend on the force field applied. Nevertheless, the methods presented here can be applied in every case.
