That is right. MCPB may met problem when adding the hydrogens on water. Other tools could be used at this situation.

In this example we used the methyl group to replace the CA atom in the backbone.
87.0 is the dihedral values between the CA, CB, CG and ND1 atoms of that residue in the original PDB file.
(If you met a negative dihedral value in PDB, you need to change it to positive by adding 360 degree in the MCPB script.)
The dihedral values may be different for different residues, you need to check them manually before setting them in the script.

Sorry for that there is no notes for that part, I will add notes in that part in the corresponding file in that tutorial.

No problem.
