 Hi,
Thank you so much. I have just one concern that in 2D diagram it is showing phosphate group having 3 OHs while in my result.pdbqt and igp.mol does not have any hydrogen in phosphate end so is maestro reading it wrong or is there any problem in my files.
Thank you

 Hi Naima,
I don't understand which hydrogen(s) in which file you think are wrong.  The 3D structure of igp.mol2 including the hydrogens looks correct to me,  and it is the same compound as shown in your 2D chemical diagram except corrected to a reasonable protonation state (negative phosphate group, etc.).  Chemical diagrams like that do not show all the hydrogens on carbon atoms; they are simplified to make the diagram easier to understand.  However, you would not expect the real compound to only have the atoms shown in the diagram -- in other words, there is no compound that would just have those carbons without any hydrogens on them.

If you mean the pdbqt file, that is created by the autodock prep script and does not have hydrogens on the carbons because they are not needed by the docking method.  The real compound would have hydrogens on those carbons.
Best,
Elaine
