Thanks again,

Yes I know all this, but I didn’t know a nitrogen can have a tetrahedral symmetry without being charged…. (this molecule is zero charged correct?). I downloaded installed and are able to see the molecule with avogadro, looks great.

Could you be so kind to explain me how to add a second hydrogen to the N1 from the paper….?

It is just to reproduce the tutorial, and then I will do the calculations on my molecules.

Thanks!!

But protonation states, and more generally tautomeric states. are a function of the environment e.g. pH or the medium the molecule is embedded in. This is just basic chemistry. I would expect that particular nitrogen to be protonated in even moderately acidic aqueous solutions. In a protein environment, when that particular group binds for instance, the situation may be different again.
