[Chimera-users] create automatically all alternative protonation states of protein

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the hints, i programmed it to consider also the atom that
receives the proton. To make the code complete, namely to generate
structures ready for docking or MD, is it possible to do the following in
python?

* if alternate locations keep only highest occupancy.
* convert modified residues to standard residues.
* replace incomplete sidechains.


Basically what DockPred does but in python.

Best,
Thomas
