The mol2 file extension is associated with the Sybyl application developed by Tripos. It stores a portable representation of a SYBYL molecule file format. The data represents a molecule’s structure including 3D coordinates.
You can open .mol2 files using molecular visualization programs like IQmol and Avogadro. As they are saved as plain text, mol2 files can also be opened with a text editor.
Our free online tools allow you to view, edit, convert, merge, split and compare .mol2 files without installing anything. Please click the links to explore them.
What is a .mol2 File Type? It stores multiple records specifying atoms, bonds, substructures within a protein or chemical compound. .Mol2 files are similar to .mol files.
You may see errors opening .mol2 files. Follow these steps to solve the problem:
1. Check the file for errors
2. Open the file with software that supports the .mol2 format
3. Use a free online .mol2 file tool
Mol2 files store information to visualize molecules, including 3D coordinates. They represent single or multiple chemical compounds, holding atomic coordinates, bonds, and molecular metadata.
Mol2 files consist of sections, each containing part of the molecule’s information.
