- Use File Explorer or your terminal to go to the extracted folder.
-
Open Command Line or Terminal:
- For Windows: Search for "cmd" in the start menu.
- For Linux/Mac: Open the terminal from your applications.
-
Go to the smiles2pdb Directory: Use the
cdcommand to change the directory to where you extracted your files. For example:cd path_to_extracted_folder -
Run the Tool:
- Type the following command to run smiles2pdb:
./smiles2pdb <your_smiles_string>
Replace
<your_smiles_string>with the actual SMILES representation you want to convert. -
Check the Output: After running the command, check the output directory for the generated PDB file. This will be in the same folder unless specified otherwise.
Here’s how to use smiles2pdb:
-
Basic Conversion: To convert a simple SMILES string:
./smiles2pdb C1=CC=CC=C1
This command will generate a PDB file for benzene.
-
With Options: Additional options may be included to customize the output. You can specify options like output directory or conformer settings. Check the help command by typing:
./smiles2pdb --help
