Dear Phenix.BB,
I wrote a mail earlier about some problems I had with phenix.elbow but it didn't seem to get through. I've solved two of the problems now but also found a new one so I'll try posting again.
When you set the --xyz option along with --clean then your .xyz file is deleted. Of course the easy solution is simply to not use --clean but I imagine that it is a minor bug since it doesn't happen with --tripos.
Secondly I have a slightly larger problem. When an isoSMILES with more than one molecule is inputted then phenix.elbow joins them up to a single molecule (or places them so closely that all programs, including phenix.elbow, interprets them as one molecule when converting to a format such as mol2 with explicit bonds).
For an example try
phenix.elbow --output=009_3085017 --write_hydrogens=false --overwrite --clean --tripos --smiles='C=CCN.C1C(O1)CCl'
The period is supposed to designate two seperate molecules. Remember to use elbow.become_expert before running that line.
I hope someone can help me.
Sincerely,
--
