[Chimera-users] Minimize hydrogens in water molecules

[Eric Pettersen]

Hi Francesca,
	I suggest you look at residues 393 (a GLY) and 394 (a CYS) in your structure.  I strongly suspect that one or both of them have an incomplete peptide backbone.  Minimization does not know how to deal with residues with incomplete backbones.  Your only option is to completely delete any residue with an incomplete backbone, which might not be appropriate if the residue is near the binding site.
