Hi,

What you try to do is probably only adding hydrogen atoms, not hydrogen
bonds? I guess what happened is you have some non-amino acid or
nucleotide residue in your system, and xleap/tleap doesn't know the
correct atom types for those atoms. To do this correctly in xleap,
you'll need to assing atom types, either manually or with antechamber.
Babel does quite a good job in adding hydrogen atoms ... I've tried it
with a few ligands with double bonds. Hope this helps.
