Hi! Just use openbabel to add the hydrogens.

obabel -h -ipdb lig.pdb -opdb > lig_h.pdb

will add hydrogens to make the molecule neutral

obabel -p 7.4 -ipdb lig.pdb -opdb > lig_p.pdb

will protonate the molecule to pH 7.4.

However, for your particular case it was not protonating the
pyridazinone nitrogen, given its pKa of 10.5 (according to the following
source).

https://books.google.com.ar/books?id=iUmBQSZTY3gC&pg=PA119&lpg=PA119&dq=pyridazinone+pka&source=bl&ots=QnOubU1QV7&sig=abJIQYQR9srjHYD4Ctp4FlGaYHg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi0grmUouXSAhVEH5AKHVX6CsAQ6AEIKDAA

So I've added the hydrogen manually using Avogadro to the lig_p.pdb
structure.

Knowing the right protonation state of a compound is not easy so the
above is just a quick guess. I suggest checking this more carefully.


Hope this helps!

Bruno
