Hi Zhenting,

RDKit does not have PDBTQ writer as you mentioned, but I have implemented
one in ODDT
https://oddt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rst/oddt.toolkits.extras.rdkit.html#oddt.toolkits.extras.rdkit.MolToPDBQTBlock

I also can warn you that reading back molecules from PDBQT might mess up
your bond orders.

In ODDT it is also possible to run a docking "pipeline" with Vina using
RDKit exclusively, and use SDFs as a input/output.
