[Dock-fans] Error creating gaff.mol2

[Greg Warren]

Hi Teck,

If you have an OpenEye license then there is an application that is 
license to academic users for file conversion.  The application is 
Babel.  It requires a OEChem license like convert.py.  The process would 
look like

babel -in my_molecule.cdx -out my_molecule.mol2

If you are input a 2-D chemdraw structure you will get a z coordinate 
column with only zeros.

Regards,

Greg
