[Chimera-users] Troubleshooting Residue Errors

[Eric Pettersen]

Well, this is a bug with Chimera, but would be a lot of work to fix.  There are alt locs throughout this structure and Dock Prep decides on which alt loc to keep on a per residue basis.  This is a problem in the rare structure like this where there are alt loc positions for backbone atoms, not just side chains -- so in a few cases in adjacent residues it picks different alt locs, which causes the residues to lose covalent connectivity and therefore spurious HNs get added.  The solution for you is to delete unwanted alt locs before running Dock Prep, then everything will work.  For instance, to remove the B and C alt locs (leaving A), use this command:

	del @.B @.C

(Favorites->Command Line to show the command line).

ChimeraX handles alt locs in a completely different manner and this issue will be moot then.
