Reading a .cif file

Hi,

What is the best way to read a cif file? I have tried the file reader but I don't know how to obtain the information I want out of it. such as the molecule name, or structure.

I am attempting to use the OpenBabel node to convert the .cif into and .sdf in order to be able to utilise other relevant nodes but I have yet to wait long enough to see if this works. Any suggestions regarding this would also be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,

L

 

 

I struggled with CIFs also - I think if it is a one off conversion you can use UCSF Chimera to convert into a PDB or mol2
