Hi Steven,
The PDB reader in the RDKit doesn’t determine any bond orders - everything is
read as a single bond.
In order to set the bond orders, you need to call the
AssignBondOrdersFromTemplate() function using a reference molecule generated
from SMILES (or SDF).
Here is some example code from the docs:
>>> from rdkit.Chem import AllChem
>>> template = AllChem.MolFromSmiles("CN1C(=NC(C1=O)(c2ccccc2)c3ccccc3)N")
>>> mol = AllChem.MolFromPDBFile(os.path.join(RDConfig.RDCodeDir, 'Chem',
>>> 'test_data', '4DJU_lig.pdb'))
>>> len([1 for b in template.GetBonds() if b.GetBondTypeAsDouble() == 1.0])
8
>>> len([1 for b in mol.GetBonds() if b.GetBondTypeAsDouble() == 1.0])
22
Now assign the bond orders based on the template molecule
>>> newMol = AllChem.AssignBondOrdersFromTemplate(template, mol)
>>> len([1 for b in newMol.GetBonds() if b.GetBondTypeAsDouble() == 1.0])
8
Note that the template molecule should have no explicit hydrogens
else the algorithm will fail.
Hope this helps.
Best,
Sereina
