Dear Edo,

You have created a new CYG residue and new charge parameter for CU atom.
The new CYG residue has a total charge of -0.698, and CU is 0.396. In
your inpdb file, you have 3 CYG, and 1 CU, and when you add them up, the
total charge of the system is -1.698000.

Where did you get these parameters? Also, do you know what the total
charge of your structure is? The new CYG residue - I guess - should
have a -1 charge (The title of the CYG_prep is 'CYSTEINE with negative
charge'). You might want to follow the resp procol to calculate the
resp charges for your new CYG residue.

I cant say too much about your system, or what to do with the 3 CYG - Cu
region, but the reason why you see noninteger number is due to the charges
defined for CYG and CU.

Good luck,
