Hi, Rilei,
In fact, antechamber only requires correct connectivity to function well. I
usually use sybyl to add hydrogen atoms. As I mentioned in the last email,
to correct add hydrogen, you need to make sure the atom types and bond types
are correct. Otherwise more or fewer hydrogen atoms are wrongly added.
When you read in a pdb file in sybyl, for the amide group in the
non-standard residues, you need manually modifiy bond type of C-N from 2 to
1 and atom type of N from N2 to Nam. After that, you fill in the open
valences with "add hydrogen" in the "Build" pulldown menu. It is recommanded
to save the ligand in mol2 format and use it to generate prepi files.
Best
