Any formal charge is written in th PDB file in columns 79-80 as per the PDB format.  Running

elbow.builder --smiles "[OH3+]"

results in a PDB file

REMARK  99 electronic Ligand Builder and Optimisation Workbench (eLBOW)

Plans are afoot to optionally calculate partial charges and put them in the file.

Ok, this is probably an unsupported feature(TM),but is there anyway to  hack elbow.builder to output an electronic charge (presumably from the AM1 calculation) for each atom of a ligand? (by say substituting in for the Bfactor))

Thanks
