Hello,
I want to convert the 2D ligands I downloaded as sdf format from the ZINC
library to 3D, but almost half of them are not converted to 3D. Some of
them are; ZINC000008214373, ZINC000001530666, ZINC000085545180. 208 ligands
are not converted to 3D in this way. When I run the script, I do not get
any warning or error in IDE. When I look at the output of my Try, Except
commands, I see "ZINC000008214373.sdf : rdDistGeom.EmbedMolecule(mol,
etkdgv3) = Failed
ZINC000008214373.sdf : rdForceFieldHelpers.UFFOptimizeMolecule(mol) =
Failed" It outputs like this for ligands that are not translated to 3D.
When I try different methods, the ligands are converted to 3D. I wonder if
there is something missing or wrong with my script. I would be grateful if
you can help me.
Thank you!
