Dear Francois,

Thank you for this reference. One of my collaborators actually tried this
server; we came up with the question of how to keep, e.g. in the case of
N1-protonated adenine, the charges of the base and the sugar essentially
the same as those for canonical adenine while only changing the charges of
the base atoms. Would this be possible with the RED server? Should I
instead use the organic molecule tutorial rather than the nucleoside one?

Thank you so much again, and have a great day,

Kamali
