| Compounds, structures, conformers and products are the currently available entry types that a collection can contain. These different entry types store different level of information. Compounds are tautomer and protonation state independent. Structures represent molecules in a specific tautomer and protonation state. Conformers are structures with 3D coordinates. Products are compounds with associated chemical supplier data. If a workflow step is running on or outputs entries at a different entry level than those in the input collection, the entry level changes. For example, the input collection for Docking(Vina) might contain structures, but since the output is a set of conformers (binding poses), the output collection will contain conformers. To learn more about the different entry levels, click here (link to regsys, entry levels). | Compounds, structures, conformers and products are the currently available entry types that a collection can contain.

| - | There are several ways of doing this. Here is one general example. Go to “Screen”, set a “Property filter” (RO5 max 1). If there is a reference ligand available that is a known inhibitor of your protein, you can use it as a query molecule for “FTrees Visual Similarities” or “Similarity search”. If there is an available crystal structure for your protein, you can check if it can be selected from the ~10,000 prepared target structures in the Docking (Vina) workflow step. To make sure you don’t exceed your limits, use the “Sampler filter” or “Diversity selection” to reduce the number of molecules to the required number.
