[Chimera-users] Solvate RNA-protein Complex

[Eric Pettersen]

Hi Andrew,
	The Solvate tool has a bug in that if hydrogens are added during the  
solvation work flow, then all hell breaks loose.  If your structure  
need hydrogens, then what you need to do is use the AddH tool to add  
them and write the structure to a new PDB file.  Using that PDB file  
you should be able to use the Solvate tool successfully.  Let me know  
if that doesn't work.
