Hi James,

Since you got many answers in regards to visualization, I might offer some
help on other end, namely the computations in SBDD. For this we have
created ODDT https://github.com/oddt/oddt in my previous group, and it
offers many protein ligand interaction and scoring functionality among many
others. We have developed few novel ML scoring functions and protein-ligand
extended connectivity fingerprints (PLEC FP). It is RDKit and openbabel
based.

Together with my colleague Marta we also have created a bunch of functions
to prepare the proteins in the RDKit named RDKit-fixer
https://oddt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rst/oddt.toolkits.extras.rdkit.html#module-oddt.toolkits.extras.rdkit.fixer

In particular look into PreparePDBMol and PrepareComplexes functions. All
of this functionality is template-based and assigns bond orders and
protonation states based on the residue names, which is similar to other
approaches.

As a different solution there is PDBfixer
https://github.com/pandegroup/pdbfixer based on OpenMM, although it was not
performing well enough for our testcases, thus we've created aforementioned
RDKit-fixer module in ODDT.
