[Chimera-users] PyChimera addCharge

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Matas,
I don't know if you need pychimera to do it.  Seems like you could just do it with Chimera commands "addcharge" (with "addh" first if the structures didn't have hydrogens) and "write" with the "format mol2" option.

Figure out which commands and their options work the way you want, and then see here for how to use python to loop through input files and apply Chimera commands to each:

I hope this helps,
Elaine
