Re: [AMBER] tleap output of mol2 format incorrect bond order/atom types

Hi,

ideally you would be using antechamber but strangely (but it should!)
it doesn't perceive bond orders in the absence of bonds in the mol2. If
you have bond orders in the mol2 already you may be able to use
antechamber with -j 4 and -at sybyl (for SYBYL types, assuming the
current types are GAFF) but I have seen this fail in some cases, i.e.
unsuitable assignment.

The mol2 reader in Openbabel doesn't know about types other than Sybyl
though it can assign GAFF types internally.

Tleap would essentially need code from antechamber to be able to assign
things like bond order and atom types.

Cheers,
Hannes.
