[Chimera-users] AMBER99SB

[Elaine Meng]

To further elaborate, even if you choose in Chimera to add charges from the polarizable force field, it only adds the fixed parts of the charges.  The main purpose of doing that would be then to write out prmtop and crd files for further polarizable calculations in Amber itself.
