Hi Elaine:

What I want to do is changing atom types and bond orders in a .mol2 file, to set that in order. So far, I did that, after workout with chimera modifying structure, by opening the .mol2 file with Jmol, which shows both the bond order and the atom type, and then editing manually the .mol2 file. However, I wonder whether this is a safe procedure.

cheers

Hi Francesco,
You can open a mol2 file and edit the structure (delete atoms, add atoms or functional groups, add hydrogens and charges, etc.) and then save another mol2 file. I”m not sure that’s what you mean, though.

I hope this helps,
