Dear Richard,

Others might know more, but as a workaround you might try UCSF Chimera in order
to do the PDB to MOL2 conversion.

Regards,
F.

Hello all,

I'm actually back to this list after nearly twenty years. Nice to see
this package is still actively maintained!

It will take me a while to get back up to speed, but my needs are the
same as they were back then when I published some docking work using
the code:

I use openbabel to convert pdb files to mol2 adding bond orders and
protonation states for proteins. My code then uses the bond orders to
assign forcefield parameters for simulation purposes.

I did a preliminary conversion of lysozyme:  obabel -p 7.0 -ipdb
6lyz_no_wat.pdb -omol2 >! test.mol2

Seems like there are a number of incorrect bonds formed. I have a very
old note that openbabel often failed to assign carbonyl oxygens a
double bond. In principle, knowledge of the amino acid 3-letter code
should solve the bonding problems.

Anyone worked on this aspect of openbabel in the past?
