The molecule title is appended to the SMILES string in Open Babel's implementation of a SMILES file. When you write "smi" with Pybel you are generating a line of a SMILES file. This is consistent with other formats.
More to the point of your original question, I can't see why the PDB filename is set as the molecule title. I can't recall whether other formats do this in general. - Noel On 27 November 2013 21:13, Dimitri Maziuk <dmaz...@bmrb.wisc.edu> wrote: > On 11/27/2013 02:47 PM, Igor Filippov wrote: >> It is documented in the Daylight specs (the main authority on SMILES): >> http://www.daylight.com/dayhtml/doc/convert/ >> >> >> - When converting to SMILES, isomeric SMILES, SMARTS or SMIRKS formats, >> the unique ID is written after the SMILES, isomeric SMILES, SMARTS or >> SMIRKS, e.g, c1ccccc1 BENZENE or [C,Br][C;v4] QUERY1. > > So opensmiles folks are mistaken when they say on > http://www.opensmiles.org/spec/open-smiles-4-output.html "The optional > whitespace character and data that follows it are not part of the SMILES > specification". > > Whatever, as a programmer I'm really dealing with specifically smiles, > or inchi -- I'm dealing with pybel.Molecule.write(), OBFormat, and > formats section of the docs.
