Dear All,


I am trying to change bonds to double bonds within xleap. My molecule is
only a small ligand, methotrexate, and hence there are no residues.
Therefore, to change the bond order i entered

bond mtx.O mtx.C [=]

The error message i get is

bond:argument 1 is type string must be of type:[atom]

I had previously set the hybridisation of the O and C to sp2.

Obviously, I am not defining the variable of the atom correctly. How is
this done?

Any advice gratefully received.

With Regards, Eoin Galligan
