A comment: on the decimal place in the mol2 file format. I have had experience with reviewers questioning the interpretation of coordinates beyond 2nd-decimal. Their argument was that coordinates from x-ray data are known with certainty up to only the 2nd decimal place in Angstrom units. Thus any variation at or beyond the third decimal shouldn't be given significant weight especially while claiming differences between bond distance, angles and torsions etc.
Thus I'm wondering what is the expert opinion on this list. thank you.
