Dear Paul,
 
my molecule can't be too big for libcheck as I used libcheck successfully for 
molecules of exactly the same size before. Now, only one atom is different, but 
this atom is a heavy metal and therefore Acedrg won't work (also any program I 
tried to use with SMILES code just gives nonsense pdb and cif output because 
the molecule is quite complex). I also can't simply rewrite the atom name in 
the pdb and cif files I have for the old molecules, because the heavy metal 
changes the geometry. Maybe I could try to rewrite the files but it would mean 
manually editing a lot of bond lengths and angles which I know can be prevented 
by generating lib file from libcheck because I already did it previously for 
other similar molecules.
 
So there must be something wrong either with my pdb I use as input in libcheck 
(but I couldn't figure out what) or the way I run libcheck.

Andrea

That is chemistry-perception mode, it seems to me (it's been a while 
since I've used it).

You are doing nothing wrong. You have a big molecule.

Fascinating. Libcheck is telling you to edit the Fortran code and 
recompile it. But who's up for that?

The alternative is to use Acedrg.

However, the current version of Acedrg doesn't do chemistry perception - 
so you will have to draw the molecule out in 2D (or by some other means 
determine the SMILES string).

Paul.
