Hi Eric,

Thank you for the quick answer, I tried to use the addcharge command indeed
but I think that my HIS residues were still HIS residues for all the
histidines and not HID nor HIE.

I expected that one could not do it directly and was prepared to write a
script but I did not expected you to write it for me.

Still I thank you as it is much much shorter than what I envisioned.

    Best wishes,

    Boris TOUZEAU
