[Chimera-users] Amber-style mol2 name

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Nikolay,
The columns are the atom *name* and the atom *type*.  The one before the coordinates is the name.  I don't know what you mean by "compatible," are you trying to use the Mol2 file as input to one of the Amber-suite programs?

As you saw, there is an option in the Mol2 saving dialog to write Amber/GAFF types instead of SYBYL types. There is no option for Amber atom names.

I don't know if the Mol2 file with Amber/GAFF types is intended as input to another program.  It is not intended as input back into Chimera.
Best,
Elaine
