I'll note that the official definitions for all the chemical entities in
the PDB can be found in the wwPDB's Chemical Component Dictionary:
https://www.wwpdb.org/data/ccd
That's in mmCIF format, but there are various SMILES and InChI definitions
for the residues included in the file. (Your mileage may vary for the
quality of those representations, though, especially for the rarer ones,
but it should be no worse than the SDFs.)
You should be able to use an mmCIF parser to extract them.
e.g.
from mmcif.core.mmciflib import ParseCifSimple # py-mmcif from the RCSB:
`pip install mmcif`
ccd = ParseCifSimple("components.cif", True, 0, 255, "?", "logfile.txt") #
logfile.txt is an arbitrary name
ALA = ccd.GetBlock("ALA")
desc = ALA.GetTable("pdbx_chem_comp_descriptor")
print( desc.GetColumnNames() )
for ii in range(desc.GetNumRows()):
print( desc.GetRow(ii) )
*['comp_id', 'type', 'program', 'program_version', 'descriptor']*
*['ALA', 'SMILES', 'ACDLabs', '10.04', 'O=C(O)C(N)C']['ALA',
'SMILES_CANONICAL', 'CACTVS', '3.341', 'C[C@H](N)C(O)=O']['ALA', 'SMILES',
'CACTVS', '3.341', 'C[CH](N)C(O)=O']['ALA', 'SMILES_CANONICAL', 'OpenEye
OEToolkits', '1.5.0', 'C[C@@H](C(=O)O)N']['ALA', 'SMILES', 'OpenEye
OEToolkits', '1.5.0', 'CC(C(=O)O)N']['ALA', 'InChI', 'InChI', '1.03',
'InChI=1S/C3H7NO2/c1-2(4)3(5)6/h2H,4H2,1H3,(H,5,6)/t2-/m0/s1']['ALA',
'InChIKey', 'InChI', '1.03', 'QNAYBMKLOCPYGJ-REOHCLBHSA-N']*
The components file is rather large, so parsing time might be a little long
at times.
