Hi Ben,

I didn't noticed any warnings during Tleap processing

How its possible to check charge of the selected part of the system (e.g of
protein only or lipids)?


in tleap I've been able to check only total charge
> charge m
Total unperturbed charge: 1.999040
Total perturbed charge: 1.99904


but not of the specified parts of the model

> charge m.5
charge: Argument #1 is type String must be of type: [unit molecule residue
atom list]
usage: charge <object>
