Just a quick relevant comment. You may want to try the Oculus Nanome
software if have access to it. It is quite interesting in 3D to use this for
your purpose.

xleap is not a very good program for this purpose: it has a rather
two-dimensional view of making changes. I'd recommend other visualization
packages (Avogadro, Chimera, VMD, coot...) that allow you to select the
ligand, and interactively move it into the position you want.

...good luck....dac

p.s. I don't do this a lot, and I'm sure I've missed some good structure
editors. I hope others on the list will chime in with recommendations.
