Oxygen in AutoDock.....



Hi All,
 I have a question about oxygen atoms in the receptor when docking with
 AutoDock.  I recently read that Autodock only allows oxygen to be a
 hydrogen-bond acceptor if it is bonded to a carbon atom, and it is not
 considerd an H-bond acceptor when bonded to two hydrogens (as in water
 molecules considered as part of the receptor).  The statement was in regards
 to Autodock 2.2, and I am presently using Autodock 3.05.  I'm wondering if
 anyone knows if that is still true, and I therefore would need to include a
 new atom type to have water oxygens considered as H-bond acceptors.
 Any help on this issue is greatly appreciated.
 Thank you,
 Robert
