      Hi all,

      Dimorphite-DL seems to confuse the cyclic amides with amines. E.g. see the test molecule below. These substructures used in cross-linking peptides known as TATA or TATB cores (https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.accounts.7b00184), so they are not very exotic. Would be great if you could you propose a workaround. Thanks!

      I found similar bug as Andrey’s.

      N in cyclic urea is protonated at pH=7.4.
      Example molecule SMILES: CN1CCNC1=O

      dimorphite_dl-1.2.4/dimorphite_dl.py –smiles CN1CCNC1=O –min_ph 7.4 –max_ph 7.4 –pka_precision 0.2

      Same, except it isn’t just cyclic amides. Dimethyl formamide and dimethyl acetamide are both protonated at a neutral pH.

      If you remove one of the N-methyl groups, the amide is not protonated at neutral pH.

      So at least from these limited tests, it seems to be related to if there are two alkyl substituents on the nitrogen.
