Re: [PyMOL] conversion of the small molecules from sdf to mol2

[Chris S. <sw...@ma...>]

Hi,

You could try --append in openbabel to add the ID_STRUCTURE to the title of the molecule sdf?

https://openbabel.org/docs/dev/Command-line_tools/babel.html#append-property-values-to-the-title <https://openbabel.org/docs/dev/Command-line_tools/babel.html#append-property-values-to-the-title>
