Hi Elaine,
Thank you very much for the explanations. It is clear to me why
gas method works by ignoring the calculation of net charge in Chimera.
I also noticed that Eric mentioned ligand preparation for FAD or NAD
and provided scripts eg, dockprep.py through DockPrep in Chimera to
generate mol2 but it fails for some cases of drugs/small molecules
when it uses am1 method and gets choked with sqm.
Can you explain two examples as it fails for NADP from PDB 1w6u
but succeeds for NAD from PDB 2h4f ? Of course, it works well for
both, using gas method.
Can a mol2 file of NADP be generated "with am1 method" by Chimera ?
Thanks,
Dewey
# Here are the NADP coordinates prepared from PDB 1w6u.
