Any text editor (nedit, jot, etc) will suffice. Copy and paste the pdb
coordinates you used as input for antechamber into the end of your
receptor file (assuming your ligand has been pre-docked either by a
docking program or manually). Be certain sure that the "TER" cards are
in place at the end of each chain (i.e. protein & ligand). You do not
need the "CONECT" records as the prep file you prepared with antechamber
will take care of connectivity for the ligand. In fact, I remove all of
the "CONECT" records from my pdb files before processing with Leap as
the "CONECT" records sometimes confuse Leap.
Be careful using Sybyl. Always use "center view" when loading files
into Sybyl. Otherwise Sybyl will change the coordinates of your file to
fit its reference frame.
