[Chimera-users] Query

[Eric Pettersen]

Chimera relies on the no-longer-supported Amber program sleap to add the ions, and that program was using an old leaprc (leaprc.ff02.r1) that in turn used an old ions file (ions03.lib) that had a very limited set of ions.  I have now switched to a newer leaprc for sleap (leaprc.ff14SB) and consequently newer ions lib (atomic_ions.lib) with many more ion types available, including Ca2+.

So, if you get the next daily build you should be able to add Ca2+ ions.
