Hi,

currently when I generate conformations with RDKit and want to use them 
for docking experiments, I have to first rewrite them using the 
MolConverter node in Knime.
I need to do this because some docking software read the information 
about charges in the atom block rather than in the molecule properties.

Is there a way to specify to SDWriter to write according to the 
"standard" V2000 format? (1)

Here an example with a simple charged molecule (2):
MOL1 as created with marvinsketch
MOL2 as converted to RDKit format then written with SDWriter
MOL3 as rewritten using MolConverter node.

If I use MOL2 for docking, some software warn me about valence issues 
because they cannot read the charge.

Did I miss something? Thank you for your help!

Cheers,
Jose Manuel
