Re: [PyMOL] Adding Hydrogens

[Michael L. <mgl...@gm...>]

I've had good results with MolProbity (
http://molprobity.biochem.duke.edu/index.php?MolProbSID=6b810d461879ca495f8d7898629dc18c&eventID=15)
in the past.

I had a script that would let me cycle through all of the HIS residues, add
hydrogens, and cycle between states. It's broken at the moment. The trick
was that PyMOL doesn't care about the name of the residue, so you have to
manually cycle the valences.
