Remarks
MOL2 is a file format that provides a complete representation of a molecule for use with software from Tripos Inc. (including SYBYL). Details of the format can be found in documentation from Tripos Inc.
MOL2 files generated by SAVE MOL2 contain the following records:
SYBYL atom types are deduced by analysing CSD connectivity information.
For some entries that are not perfectly matched, it is difficult to determine accurate SYBYL atom and bond types. Such entries are indicated by the following comment in the MOLECULE record:
Generated from the CSD - Atom/bond types may be wrong (imperfect match)
For entries with no crystal connectivity, the MOL2 representation will not contain a BOND record. Such entries are indicated with the following comment in the MOLECULE record:
Generated from the CSD - Crystal connectivity not present
The output file will have an extension .mol2.
