PoseBusters: Plausibility checks for generated molecule poses.

Paper in Chemical Science and preprint on arXiv

Installation

# install with pip from PyPI
pip install posebusters

Usage

# Check generated molecule pose.
bust molecule_pred.sdf
bust molecule_a.sdf molecule_b.sdf
bust molecule_*.sdf

# Check new ligand generated for a given protein.
bust ligand_pred.sdf -p mol_cond.pdb

# Check re-docked ligand (a pose that should recover the ligand in a given protein-ligand crystal complex).
bust ligand_pred.sdf -l mol_true.sdf -p protein.pdb

# Check any of the three by providing a csv with files to check together
bust -t file_table.csv
