RE: [PyMOL] Pymol and Autodock

2003-02-06 Thread DeLano, Warren
SD is a file format for small molecule ligands based around the MDL MOL file 
(CTAB core).

http://www.mdli.com/downloads/literature/ctfile.pdf

Advantages: 
simplicity
easy to parse
supported by most cheminformatics packages
captures valence, stereochem, charge
2D or 3D
more extensible than PDB (arbitrary tags)

Disadvantages: 
999 atom limit (only useful for small molecules!)
  no standard conventions for storing of atom names or types.
fixed field lengths

Cheers,
Warren

Sorry, what's SD?

PyMOL does support the MODEL and ENDMDL tags, but so far they've only been
tested with NMR structures (as far as I know).  With different ligands in
one PDB file, it may be necessary to force PyMOL treat each state as a
separate entity using the "discrete=1" flag.

load ligands.pdb,discrete=1

Unfortunately, reading of MODEL and ENDMDL records is not (yet)
optimized, so this might bog down.

Read-in performace would be better if you could convert your
multiligand PDB file to an SD file.

No, but you might be able to use PyMOL's "chempy" models to create your
own (depending on how easy/hard it would be to read ".trj" files in
Python.
