Thank you for your reply.
But, I am following this tutorial.
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9910290/

The define two tautomeric states as
if i == 1:
    if x[0] >= up_cut and x[1] >= up_cut:
        x1_count += 1
    if x[0] >= up_cut and x[1] <= low_cut:
        x2_count += 1



*i=1 means histidine*
*Then I calculate a fraction of x1_counts and x2_counts with different pH.*
But I get a high pka value for x1_counts compared to others. But from
experimental result we know that pka for HIP to HID is 7.0 and HIP to HIE
is 6.5
