# 4.10. PDBQT topology parser

Use a PDBQT file to build a minimum internal structure representation (list of atoms), including AutoDock atom types (stored as `Atom.type`) and partial charges (`Atom.charge`).

Reads a PDBQT file line by line and is not fuzzy about numbering.

This does not support multi-model PDBQT files (yet!)

Warning

Only cares for atoms and their names; connectivity is not deduced. Masses are guessed and set to 0 if unknown.

exception `MDAnalysis.topology.PDBQTParser.``PDBQTParseError`

  Signifies an error during parsing a PDBQT file.

`MDAnalysis.topology.PDBQTParser.``parse`(filename)

  Parse atom information from PDBQT file filename.

  Returns : | MDAnalysis internal structure dict

  See also

  The structure dict is defined in `MDAnalysis.topology.PSFParser.parse()` and the file is read with `MDAnalysis.coordinates.PDBQT.PDBQTReader`.
