# Outline

  • The PDB files from crystallography were prepared by removing all crystallographic waters and then protonated at pH 7.4 using OpenBabel.
  • The initial ~42,000 candidate compounds in SMILES format are enumerated using Dimorphite-DL [1] and RDKit (opens new window) to a total of ~150,000 compounds with relevant charge forms.
  • For each of these, a three-dimensional structure is generated using OpenBabel [2] and saved in SD-format.
  • The SD-file is split into chunks of 1,000 molecules each ready for docking.
