I will work to fix this when I have time and will report back here when I do. In the interim, you may want to simply delete non-A altlocs before running DockPrep. Assuming there are no more than three altlocs per atom then this command will do that:<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>del @.b @.c</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">—Eric</div><div class=""><br class=""><div class="">
