cage-json-extractor 1.0.0

Why?

Because the original format of the published data is an out-of-date format, namely an stk JSON dump.

How?

The easiest thing to do is

pip install cage-json-extractor

Now you can download the files

• cages.tar.gz - https://data.hpc.imperial.ac.uk/resolve/?doi=4618&file=3&access=

• cage_prediction.db - https://data.hpc.imperial.ac.uk/resolve/?doi=4618&file=2&access=

And run

tar xf cages.tar.gz
cage_json_extractor cages/amine2aldehyde3.json cage_prediction.db amine2aldehyde3.db

Now if we want to extract all the shape persistent 4+6 cages we can run

extract_cages amine2aldehyde3.db FourPlusSix --output_directory extracted_cages

This will create a folder extracted_cages which holds a sub-folder for every shape persistent 4+6 cage in amine2aldehyde3.db. In the sub-folder you will find the .mol file of the cage and its building blocks.

Enjoy! (and sorry I deprecated the .json files)
