All is summarized in the script:

For unsubstituted beta-cyclodextrin, look for Summarize a-, b- and
g-cyclodextrin names:
per-OH b-CD = BCDOH

# per-OH beta-cyclodextrin
BCDOH = seq {MGO MGO MGO MGO MGO MGO MGO}
set BCDOH head BCDOH.1.C4
set BCDOH tail BCDOH.7.O1
i BCDOH {1 2 3 4 5 6 7} {{O5 C1 O1 C4 98.0}{C1 O1 C4 C5 -103.00}}
bond BCDOH.1.C4 BCDOH.7.O1

So it looks like you only need the fragment: MGO = loadmol2 tripos7.mol2

let us know if you need more help...

regards, Francois
