Hi Valik,

I do this on a regular basis for our generators here. Basically what you
will need is to:

1. Generate 3D structures for the molecules (RDKit can do that)
2. Save to SDF files (again, RDKit)
3. Convert to PDBQT (I use OpenBabel: "$ obabel -isdf structures.sdf
-opdbqt -Oname-.pdbqt -m")

Then you'll have the files you need. Of course, you will still need to
build the pdbqt file for the target and the vina_config file, but that you
only need to do once.

All the best,
