Dear George,
Please, do not write directly to me, but to the q4md-fft or Amber
mailing list.

I look at your P2N file; this is far better...
Howver by now the total charge of your HIC residue = 1; indeed you
have generated a N-methylated imidazole ring with a N-H group; so the
total charge = +1.
> I think that total charge 0 is correct - I have a HID type of histidine.

- For the ground state of organic molecules the spin multiplicity = 1.
- For bio-inorganic complex the spin multiplicity = 'the number of
single electron' + 1.
Let's take an example:
3d10 4s1
Copper Cu 29 (11) [Ar].3d10.4s1 || || || || || |
3d10
-> Cu+ 28 (10) [Ar].3d10 || || || || ||
-> 0 single electron
-> spin multiplicity = 1
3d9
-> Cu++ 27 (9) [Ar].3d9 || || || || |
-> 1 single electron
-> spin multiplicity = 1+1 = 2
i hope this helps...
regards, Francois
