[Chimera-users] trying to add charges

Hi Irene,
Antechamber QM calculations are more likely to fail the larger and more highly charged the ligand. I would instead choose Gasteiger (the simpler method) if the PDB2PQR server actually needs partial charges for the nonstandard residues.  You might not need the charges ... I'm not sure.  From this page, it sounds like PDB2PQR will try to figure them out for you:
<http://www.poissonboltzmann.org/pdb2pqr/examples/ligand-parameterization>

If charges aren't needed, you could just use Chimera to add hydrogens and then write a Mol2 file (Chimera menu File... Save Mol2).
I hope this helps,
Elaine

So I thought I'd use chimera to add charges & write, hopefully, a compatible mol2 file.  I'm having problems with that as well.

When I click on the log file, the only message is that I've had a crash. In the older version of chimera I was running, I also tried this with only the IPE & got the same behavior.  Are my compounds just too nonstandard?
