Do you know how Chimera assigns protonation states? If not, you have no
reason to trust its assignments. See the "Add Hydrogens" command
description for the Chimera manual:
https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/data/downloads/1.2540/docs/ContributedSoftware/dockprep/dockprep.html
Note in particular the following disclaimer: The resulting protonation
states of such groups and of those with possibly perturbed pKa values
(for example, in active sites or coordinating metal ions) should be
checked manually and corrected as needed.
