Generally, carboxylates are charged, but this is not always the case. You
will have to decide whether or not to build your ligand in the neutral or in
the anionic form.

LEaP only adds hydrogens that are present in the library (which you will make)
and which are *not* present in the input PDB file. Always check the prmtop
file itself to make sure that LEaP did what you wanted it to do.
