Hi Bill,

        You need to correct the extra -0.8089 partial charge. This represents an
error and has no chemical meaning. From what you wrote, it seems reasonable
that this extra charge is coming from the modification made in the histidine
charges. At some point in the process, from incorporating the output of
R.E.D. into your model, you have introduce this error. (I am assuming that
you have executed R.E.D. to provided the correct overall -1 formal charge.) I
suggest that you go through each of your steps again and see where this extra
charge is added. This should give you ideas on how to correct the situation.

Cheers,
Karl
