[Chimera-users] Structure editing: add charge

[George Tzotzos]

In relation to my earlier message, I have found a fix (or, at least, I hope I have found one). I have manually edited the ligand.mol file to ensure an integer sum of charges. However, I would welcome any more intelligent way of doing the same.

Apologies for bothering you with this question.

A good weekend to you all

George
