Hi all,

I wonder if anyone can help me work out what's going on here. I'm trying to convert a PDB file of ADP (from structure 3ATV) to mol2 format and add hydrogens. The first step seems to work fine:

babel -ipdb 3ATV_ADP.pdb -omol2 3ATV_ADP1.mol2 -p 7.4

however as a check I thought I'd try to convert back from mol2 to PDB, but when I do I get lots of errors:

babel -imol2 3ATV_ADP1.mol2 -opdb tmp.pdb

This seems to happen with versions 2.2.3, 2.3.0 and 2.3.1. Can anyone try to replicate this error? I have attached the PDB file. One interesting point is that if I leave out the -p option in the initial conversion I get 3 errors instead of 12. AutodockTools also chokes on the mol2 file created by OpenBabel. Presumably there is something wrong with the mol2 file, but I can't see what.

thanks a lot,

Doug
