[Chimera-users] Failure Running ANTECHAMBER

[Mailyn Terrado]

Hi Elaine,

Thank you for your reply. I will try to remove BeF3 and re-run.

I also encountered the same error with a different protein structure with
the ligand ANP (phosphoaminophosphonic acid-adenyl ester, Formula: C10 H17 N
6 O12 P3.

Thank you for the help.

Regards,
Mailyn

Mailyn
