Hi guys,
Let me try some of them and get back to you if they don’t work.

I found some command-line tools in this page (new-bond), but this seems to be not so straightforward to use - https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/devel/bundles/atomic/src/atomic.html#chimerax.atomic.structure.AtomicStructure <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/devel/bundles/atomic/src/atomic.html#chimerax.atomic.structure.AtomicStructure>.
