I would add that the ‘gzip’ message merely means that the ‘gzip’ executable cannot be found on your system (which is completely normal for Windows) and therefore files compressed with gzip will not be able to be opened by Chimera (not normally an issue on Windows).</div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>When you run DockPrep, part of that procedure is to determine partial charges for non-standard residues. Residue 13L in your structure is a large residue (38 atoms) and furthermore is covalently bonded to a cysteine, which adds yet more atoms to it for the purposes of charge determination. Such a calculation will take many minutes. So, Chimera wasn’t ‘hung’; if you had waited long enough the calculation would have finished.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">—Eric</div><div class=""><br class=""><div class="">
